Drill Motor Grain Mill - by gswartley
I bought a grain mill a couple batches ago and right out of the box knew I was not going to use the handle. So I started to use my drill to crush grain, but found a problem with that.
I needed three hands ! ! ! ! !
Trying to hold the drill, the top of the mill so it would not come off the bucket, and poor my grains was almost impossible.
I started to research making a stand. Not finding a motor with the torque I liked I started to do some freestyle thinking and decided a slow speed drill would do what I wanted. After placing my order I saw a thread with the same drill powering a mill, oh well guess my thought was not so original.
Anyway here is my mill stand made from stuff I had on hand with my mill and motor mounted on top.
