insco2 you are currently using that motor? Thats pretty neat. No big pulleys and belts to deal with and the price is a great deal! How did you couple the mill shaft to the motor shaft?

I suck at setting up wiring, so how is that one wired?
i will probably use the same size pullys on each so i can move the motor down the side of the cabinet out of the way. As far as the wiring goes i think i will have to wait till i get the motor to see what the instructions say. I will keep you guyz up to beat with the events as they unravel.
To answer your question, I use the 'Barley Crusher'. After looking at all the mills and adding up how much all of the 'options' costed, this one was very reasonably priced. Pay one price and get everything you need. The handle, hopper, extra drive gears etc. are either included or not needed. I motorized mine using a motor from a clothes dryer and pulleys.

The dryer motor has many exposed electrical components which drunken hands can easily reach!

Can't you just link to one the other 17 threads you copied this into instead of posting the same thing in them all?
I have just deleted some negative comments about the product but the guy who did it spammed 7 threads.
He reckons the product is crap and the vendor rude.
I think the poster was biased and on a mission.
