Got my Cereal Killer Mill mounted to a table I will use as a staging/work area while brewing.
I used an old Makita variable speed high torque drill I had laying around. That thing is a beast, I've almost broken my wrist more than once using it with hole saws.
I mounted the drill directly to the table using the side handle hole and the holes used to hold the handle together along with some nylon spacers. I had to shim up the mill using 9/16 aluminum bar to get it on the same plane as the drill.
The drill has a variable speed trigger with a lock so I dialed it in at arond 225ish RPM using a strobe app on my iphone. With the lock engaged I am hands free while milling.
I made the table using leftover material from replacing the counter tops in the kitchen along with some 8/4 cherry stock used on a project so long ago I forget what it was.
I made a hopper extension that should put my capacity around 32Lbs. I'll probably add a chute under the mill to direct into a 5 gallon bucket to keep the dust down.
