So I have searched this forum as best I could and did not find an answer. Has anybody used one of these 12V motors from amazon successfully to motorized a two roller grain mill.

They have a range of RPMs but I’m not sure which one would be best since the stated RPM are when under no load.

Torque is the spec you want. The one you listed is 0.11 lb-ft. I think most folks recommend somewhere in the 50-75 ft/lbs of torque.
