I'm going to get one of those motors eventually. It's just way low on the list compared to other upgrades. That, and I don't have a good place to put a whole milling station right now.

Is that thing gonna have enough torque? 30 inch pounds is not much. You may not be able to fill your hopper very full before you start the mill. 1.1 amp draw at 115V = 126 Watts = .17 HP. Lots of threads I have read have said that a 1/3 HP (.3333) motor hasn't been enough power?

Just wondering. Let us know how it goes.
