Motorized Grain Mill

[MTBbrewer]

How do i connect my pulley to my Barley Crusher? The pulley i am going to use has a 1" bore, and the Barley Crusher has a 3/8" (I think). Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

Does anyone have experience with this issue?

If you have a Grainger near you, you can get an adapter for the shaft tobump it up to 1" to fit the pulley's bore.

Although people do it, Barley Crusher says it will lead to premature wear. They recommend a direct drive system.

Grainger or any motor supply place will have sleeves, they will convert 1" to 3/8

Thanks for the info. I am still looking, but i have not found the right size yet. If anyone runs across one online please post a link.

You might have a hard time locating one for that big of a difference, and as others have mentioned, direct drive will give the longest life.

Here's what McMaster-Carr has to offer:

And if ya' can't find one to purchase, visit your local machine shop, take your pieces with ya', and tell them what you want to do.

That said, it might be hard to find a Machine Shop interested in doing a "one off" deal for ya' like this...........Unless the Shop Foreman or Lead Man likes homebrew.........

Edit: no I didn't find your size either, but I just took a quick look.
