^cool - that's what I'm doing right now too but I have to use several washers. I'd like to find a better solution
^looks great! nice and clean.
can you take a pic of how you matched the gear reducer shaft up with the input on the mill?
I have a very similar setup and am looking to rebuild the stand again.
Really clean, well done! Are those malt signs or just remnants cut from grain bags?

I used a garage pushcart from HF, a Champion juice motor from flea mrkt for $7, a 12" pulley from grainger, etc but works great. Sorry for the quality, just used pic from phone. I don't have reverse but used a board with door hinges to mount the motor - the weight allowed for rocks that go thru. Mounted the motor w/ bolts & wing nuts to adjust tension as needed.

After only 2 years of planning and scavenging parts
I also went with the Monster 2.0 Pro, I just couldn't justify spending another $300 on the Power Grinder (at least not yet). I blew $11 on the cabinet from the local Hospice thrift store, $50 on a HF drill, $15 or so on the duct pieces, and a few electrical parts I had laying around. Came out pretty good I think, and a quick pound or two through it seemed to go perfectly. Maybe some day I'll give it a coat of paint.
Looks awesome! What kind of hardware specifically are you using to secure the drill? I've just been holding mine by hand and it's hell on the wrists trying to fire it up when the hopper's full!
Quick question about these direct drive motors, where are you guys finding them? I have searched ebay and its hard to know what one is the correct one with enough torque

Just built mine, used the harbor freight drill. That's a MM2. Had the 2x4's laying around and grabbed the kreg jig. MDF top and shelf.
