To be honest I haven't thought about it. It could be ( and probably should be ) done, but I load the hopper then flip the switch and wait until its done. Milling is early in the day for me so I shouldn't be into the brew too much at that point...

I extended the shaft on mine as well. As day_trippr pointed out, you will need to modify the base. Here is a link to my build, hope it helps. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/motorized-mill-project-327545/

Its a piece of 3/8" plate steel. I needed a flat level surface for welding. Since it's bare steel, that lets me attach the ground clamp from the MIG directly to the table, then once I lay out my pieces I can weld them without having to clamp the ground directly to the pieces I'm welding. The...

Now for the electrics. Below are the required items for assembly. Two short cords with male plug ends. The motor plugs into the switched outlet, and the switch box to an extension cord. I was even able to find a nice brushed copper cover plate. Shot with motor plugged in. The motor...
