That did cross my mind but i need to try and keep the centerlines of the motor and mill inline so the belt doesn't hit the mounting bracket, its a close fit as the belt is short.
All done bar painting of the base plywood, tested it out on 500g of crystal which it made light work of.
Then i filled the hopped with dark munich and it ate thru the 5kg in no time all, very happy with the result.
After looking at various options it work out easier to recess the mill drive wheel which meant less fabrication.
