For those who turned a pasta maker into a grain mill, has anyone cut the handle off and used it to power the mill? I'd like to motorize this thing but don't want to ruin the handle unless I know it will work with a drill and I won't need the ability to hand crank it.

You don't need to cut the handle, just find a shank of some sort that fits in the hole the handle goes it, like a screwdriver, or threaded rod, or something from the big box store.
FYI next time you have a question about this, you'll probably find the best help by posting it in the past mill thread. https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f11/using-pasta-maker-mill-grain-75784/
You can also take a look and see what folks have done.

Well, the thread is where the popularity of doing it came from.....there's even a lot of trackback from other websites....
It's one of those things that folks said couldn't be done then a bunch of folks have proven it could...

Yep, it fill a gap but I'm glad to have my barley crusher!
I had forgotten about that thread, but I was pretty active in it early on, back when my username was Gonefishing.
I haven't brewed in months, but will be doing a batch tomorrow, and will be doing it with the pasta mill and powering it with my drill.
