I finally got a drill for my Cereal Killer 2 roller grain mill and thought the specs looked good to get the job done. I bought a Hyper Tough 6-amp 1/2" corded hammer drill at Wal-Mart.
I took it out of the box to check it out and it seems to have decent weight for it's size. The steel keyed chuck looks nice too. I pulled the trigger and was able to lock the trigger just fine. Then I used the dial to slow the speed down to milling speed. That also worked nicely, but 2 things concern me.
When running at slow speed, I was able to grab the chuck with my hand and stop it. Not much torque at all. I sped the drill up quite a bit and grabbed it again and it had more torque and slowed to a more appropriate milling speed.
The 2nd thing I noticed is that when I dialed in the speed and let it run for a few seconds at that speed, the speed seemed to get faster even though I had the trigger locked and speed dialed to a set position.
If this the normal function on these types of drills or did I just pick the wrong one?
