Hi Alan

You are totally true BUT generally people use sync motor who are
not really strong a square rotor will produce a lot more drag
than a round one, a lot more noise too but if you want to deal
with it it's your choice. An other thing I don't feel safe near a
square piece of G-10 turning at 1800 or 3600 RPM, one mistake and
bye-bye fingers.

Cheers,
