Anyone know what I need to hook my drill up to this sucker? I'm so sick of hand cranking it for half an hour:

Hook up your drill and go!

Or you could just tighten the nut against the shaft.Funkenjäger said:........ using enough washers to make up for the fact that the threaded hole in the shaft isn't very deep.

Get a corded drill for your mill. Can't stress this enough. I'm not familiar with the corona mill, but it's a LOT of work for a drill to turn a mill and you're just asking to eat up battery life early. Plus a corded drill can deliver more torque.Ó Flannagáin said:I do have a hacksaw, didn't think about that. They did cut it for me at Lowes though, which was awesome. I got it all hooked up, except my drill is being a ***** and acting like it doesn't have enough power to crush grains. grrrrr... so I just picked up a new drill to try, it's 18volt as opposed to 12volt. Hopefully it'll give me more power. GOtta let it charge for a few though, figure I'll put my pumpkin into a keg while I wait.
