Both made it back north side safe and sound, Cheers peaky :beer: res

Cheers Contrarian, I'll double check but I think it's something else. I should just buy the extra knob and try it with all the switches in place.

I finally got organized enough to hook up my motor, controler etc and have encountered a problem. Both the on/off switch and the speed controler do nothing, I pug it in and the mill turns. Can't switch it off or control the speed, the on/off switch does turn a on board led on and off but the...

Only one more sleep until grain day :-)

Yeah I know what you mean, been thinking of a cover of some sort to keep the moving parts out of reach.

Cheers contrarian, I was pretty sure it would work just wanted to make sure I wasn't overlooking something. I tested it today with really good results, the alignment seems perfect. Now just waiting for the ebay bits to complete the build. Can't wait.

I'm sure I read somewhere in this thread about testing the motor with a car battery charger, can't seem to find it now. Is it safe to just connect the motor wires to the charger terminals? Just want to see it turn and test the alignment. Cheers.

Thanks very much guys, sounds pretty workable I'll post back when I have the empirical data. Cheers. :beer:

Yeah. Approximately.

Is the a way to ballpark the throughput of a given mill at a given speed? :huh: I'm running a monster MM3, Three rollers, six inches long, two wide. Proposed motor turning at 120 RPM.

Can't help out with the wiring but will definitely be keen on getting a reverse switch set up. From my experience using a drill that jammed often I found it much easier to swap collection buckets and run the drill in reverse causing all the malt to run through unmilled than to take off the...

Thanks for the replies lads, I emailed Monster yesterday to try and get something definitive regarding torque, this is the response: On 3/14/2016 11:00 PM, res wrote: Hey guys, I have the MM-3 Pro 2 inch rollers etc.. I'm looking to motorize it soon and need to know the minimum torque...

Wow, I was beginning to wonder if this thread had an end :mellow: . Big thanks to the OP and everyone else for furthering the discussion, looks like a great product. As I read through all the posts I could't find anyone using the same mill as me, and as it's on the bigger end of the spectrum...

@razz Cheers mate that's one hell of a thread, but super informative, Cheers. @TheWiggman, cheers mate.

I'm the proud owner of a Monster mill MM-3 PRO, 3x 2 inch rollers. Up until this point I been struggling along with my drill but the grain group buy fast approaching and I'd like a better solution in place to deal with the mass of grain coming. Very interested in the motor and speed controller...

I went with a monster in the end. Last time I checked there was a distributor setting up shop here but I don't have a site.

I'd grab a bag of the heavy peated (price depending ) should it be available. Cheers.

Yeah cheers I found that one, there is a more useful one from one of there retailers but I can't find it on my phone just now. Looks like ss rollers, maybe geared? If they reply to my email I'll see about an English spec sheet.
