Again you have outdone yourself. I agree with Evan! about a shield. I'm sure you could whip up a nice cone shaped item to keep the dust down, and in the bucket.

Since its a gear motor can you really call it a "direct drive"?
j/k
lehr well done.
I give you a 10 if you install a safety guard.
The guard is not to protect you and me, it's the intelligent guy next to us.

Great looking mill and drive, now some old lady in her 90's can not get her bed to elevate.
Is that a continuous or intermediate duty gearmotor on the data plate rating?
Last week at the ER while waiting for the wife I visited my friend in the hospital maintenance department. With us being past bier drinking friends he gave me a brand new "spare", The Timeter Group 0-15 LPM O2 flow meter. It has a 1/4 turn quick disconnect that will be rermoved. plus the flow control valve. A great addition to my next brewery. I'll have to ask him about a bed gearmotor. What's the HP of that motor or the current draw? thanks for the posting.
That's a good solid setup. My only beef is you didn't seem to use a flex coupling for the connection between the mill and motor. If it's not aligned perfectly there will be unnecessary bearing stresses.
super clean.... very nice.. Where'd you get the table?
I think it's time for me to start brainstorming where I can get a good motor. Not that I can't crank by hand, but that looks fun to build!
a washing machine or dryer would be a could place for one. You can find them on CL cheap/free pretty often.
Homer the only way to use one of those washing machine motors is to do the belt and sheave thing.
