Found it! Thanks Revvy. I think I'll be disassembling it later tonight so I can get the rollers off to my buddy. And finishing the hopper.

Sorry Brown Dog

I have more questions for you.

Do you have a special drill bit? People are telling me that I need a special drill bit to deal with stainless steel.

Nah. I just used a basic wood/metal bit I had that I bought at HD.

You might need a special bit if you were trying to drill a hole, but you just want to let the bit ride back and fourth on the surface.

I am not sure if my buddy will knurl a lot of these for us but I will ask if enough people want to do it. I know he said he would do mine for "beer" and I know that all of you would have to ship them to me/him but it would not be that expensive to do so. Maybe $5 each way and a 12 pack of BMC. Figure $20 to get a knurl job.

Well I've jumped on the bandwagon. I have my pasta roller (hobby lobby with 40% off coupon for signing up on mailing list). I roughed it up and the crush looks good. I used the drill bit idea.

Now I just need to create a box for it, my hopper will be a 5 gallon bucket (probably change the bottom to make it funnel better) with a sliding piece of metal blocking the hole. I can then fill my bucket in the grain room, and then take it to the brewery and set it on top the mill station that is on top the mash tun. I can then mill right into the tun. I plan to add a stirrer as well.

How about sand-blasting the rollers, anyone know if that would be enough grip?

The place I work at has a machine shop, so I could get the rollers knurled for free, but getting someone to do the work might take months (need to wait until both a machine and operator are free or when they set up the knurl bit for another job). I can do the sand-blasting myself and have it done in a few minutes. I'll probably try it, I can always have it knurled afterwards, no harm done.

I bought one of these pasta machines 2 years ago when I started sculpting. I never used it (a friend has a better machine so I just used his). Sooo...I think I know what I'll be doing this weekend.

Has anybody used the preexisting holes to mount their hoppers into? I'm thinking with some light gauge sheet metal I might be able to mount a hopper right to the existing frame with little modification. Of course, I still want to take the base off and mount it to a board somehow...One day I'll get motivated on this project.

I am building a hopper out of 1/4" Luan and I plan to mount it directly to the existing housing.

Also, my rollers have been knurled as of this morning. I think I'll go pick them up tonight and see how they work.
