    Mill Motors

    Those ones require the mains side to be wired as well. Using a pc power supply (I like the hot plug server ones) gives you a beefy (often more than 30 amps on the 12v line), with only minimal mods required. Something like this is what i'm talking about...

    Fridge Help

    I had a fridge like that at one point. I thought it was dead, so I bought a new one. Turns out it was iced up so badly internally it just couldnt function. After I cleaned up the huge puddle of water inside it (and under it) the thing worked perfectly. When was the last time you defrosted it?

    I reckon just spend the extra and get a monster mill or similar. Monster for one, gives you pointers on how to go about motorising it!

    My New Biab Rig

    Ended up using an entire roll of duct tape. Worked a treat. Popped the cherry on my setup today, the recipe I am using calls for a 90 minute boil. At the 60 minute mark my circuit breakers in the shed kept popping! I only have a 2200w element, a I think 1500w element, both on what i thought...

    My New Biab Rig

    I got the standard sized shaft, with the stainless rollers. I was going to walk down at lunchtime and get the coupler from Jaycar, I'm ok with drilling out the hole if need be, though I might wait untill the motor is here, just to make sure that the jaycar one will work.

    My New Biab Rig

    My New Biab Rig

    Nope, no coupler yet. Was going to get the jaycar one. On looking at the underside pics of your mill, it looks like you had to embed the motor slightly into the base to get it to lign up. Is that the case?
