Mill project

Anyone have pictures of their monster mill projects to see what options I have for building some type of mill setup

Here is a link to a photo album I have with a motorized grain mill setup. Its not the Monster brand name, but its a Crankandstein out of Atlanta.

I built mine with a plexiglass shell so I could see what is happening inside. The Hopper is not pretty, but it works. I've since replaced it with metal and added a hook and eye latch to keep the mill on when not in use.









Double sided tape keeps the plexiglass on strong. And on the other side with the tightening screws I just drilled a hole in the plexiglass and tighten the set screws to hold it on. Works great.

Built mine from some leftover wood from a cabinet project and an old washing machine motor. Used a door hinge to make the tensioning bracket. Works great, but will bind if I put the grain in before starting the motor. It's huge looking but only 1/4HP.

I'm a maintenance supervisor at work and it was old stuff we were going to obsolete and throw out. You can pick up the stuff from Grainger. It's a 1/4 hp DC motor with a Dart drive.
