Is the corona mill viable at all or is it really a budget half-ass mill for our cracking purposes?
bradsul said:I use the Porkert mill which is a variation on the corona style. I really like it (partially because it was a Christmas present, free is good!). Fiery Sword is right about the mess though. I made a 2x4 frame to sit on top of a wine juice bucket and crush into that. I also crush outside because it's pretty dusty.

I don't have the Corona but here is what I did for the Porkert if anyone else is interested. This method also allows you to use the handle if you need to.FlyGuy said:Does anyone have instructions and/or photos of the drill mod? I wouldn't mind trying that. Thanks!
Onescalerguy said:Just rig it up,McGyver style.I had to drill a hole in the shaft just in front of the washer(spacer?)and put a pin through it to maintain the proper distance between the plates.I did away with the crank and chuck the shaft end into the drill.It was chewing up the shaft threads so i put a couple wraps of duct tape on it.I might need to use the crank again sometime so I don't want to ruin the threads.

That hopper must hold at least 10# of grain.
Merry christmas....
