Grain Crusher Advise Please

[RmikeVT]

I purchased a Barley Crusher with 15lb hopper. I used it for the first time this weekend with my 19.2v Craftsman Drill to crush the grain. I felt like it gave the drill a pretty good workout. Should I have any concerns about burning out my drill motor grinding less than or equal to 15lbs of grain with my drill?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

It should be fine but if it's variable speed, you might want to set it on a lower setting. I know a lot of people are buying Harbor Freight's cheap 1/2" variable speed drill ($30) and they say it takes a beating like a beast. You might also try a lower speed torque drill.
