So, after waiting for a long time to get my AAW motor, I finally was able to finish my new grain mill project using the Monster Mill MM2-Pro with hardened rollers and 1/2" keyed shaft mated to the AAW motor with Lovejoy couplers. I used a DPDT switch to allow reverse direction in case I ever need it. I still need to add labels to the switches, but that's minor.
I ran a pound malt through first to check settings and remove any residue in on the mill. The gap was set way too big. I quickly reset it to 0.039" and ran another test batch through. It was a perfect crush.
Now, that it was set correctly and running nicely, I ran about 26 pounds of malt through to do a 10 gallon batch of Saison. I'm very impressed with both the mill and the motor. Even though the motor is only 1/2 HP, it is a beast with the gear reduction of 10:1. I cant imagine needing any more power or torque.
