yeah I need another crack at motorizing my grain mill, after crushing some more grains, stripped out lag bolt with head removed (leaving square underhead on bolt) so much for my cheap fix. back to hand cranking for the moment... need high torque drill
sfrisby said:My question - since you really can't control the degree of crush with the accuracy you can with a high end model, realizing I do BIAB, any reason to not double crush? For BIAB, can you pulverize too much? Thanks.
Tighten until you're scared; then crank it another quarter-turn and try that.
autobaun70, if you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from?
I've figured out that I will be able to make a 10 gallon batch of my house pale for 33 bucks buying bulk grain.
i wouldn't trust either of those honestly...
you'll want something like this

something high torque with the amount of turning pressure required.
i've burned out drills just like that. you'll want to spend about $20 more and have years of service instead of buying new drills.
maybe someone else can chime in on that issue as well,
i've burned out two other smaller handheld drills (name brand) on the corona mill.
People have success with the smaller handheld drills. However, with it being harbor freight, i wouldn't trust their smaller/cheaper drills. (that first one you posted, people have burned up or did not have the power to turn the mill)
HTH!
with that drill i posted, i've gone through over 200lbs of grain and not even a wink of pain for it.
I trust what your saying, it makes sense to have more power than not enough but I just hate to have a big drill laying around if I don't have to. I am sure I will use the drill for other projects around the house so I will probably just get it anyways. Thanks for your help!

What do you use to attach the drill to the mill?
