I have a corona mill I would like to sell if anyone interested? $50 plus postage from adelaide or local pickup.
I use a "Taurus" from Aldi, cheap as chips @ about $50, you want one that has plenty of torque at low RPM or you will burn it out (as I did) I think Kev has a similar Ozitto drill, you want one that has the little dial on the trigger so you can set it to the speed you want.
Stay away from using a battery drill, a PITA as the bloody batteries invariably die half way through the grist and then you burn out the power drill trying to finish it off <_<
I set mine mill up on my MT and mill directly into it with a wooden jig to hold the drill so it's all hands free.
Billk uses a motor too, (he just needs a bigger hopper h34r: ) nice little unit.. dunno who's photo it was I am thinking of then, from memory he did a little video of it too :unsure: ahh well, at the end of the day there are a million options and reasons for each, me? I went the Taurus and bought a bag of grain with the change and am happy with it

? Just clamp her right onto the mill, the drive shaft on the mill acts as your 'drill bit'. You are good to go once your mill arrives. :icon_cheers:

An opportunity missed.micblair said:Just purchased a CrankandStein 3D, was tempted by its larger sibling, the 320D (and all the trimmings such as SS rollers), but in the end the 3D, hand-crank and hopper + delivery was $290 AUD was enough coin for one evening. Now I gotta get some scales...
I started modifying a pasta roller at one stage but like Bribie G says the rollers need to be knurled. The rollers on my were just tube with end caps and when I showed a metalworker he said they were too thin for decent knurling. I did read on HBT a build where the bloke took to the rollers with a file and just scored the surface but I didn't want to waste a half decent pasta mill for a half assed grain mill. But YMMV. Ended up doing some OT and investing in a mashmaster minimill and couldn't be happier. Broke the flimsy perspex hopper pretty quickly so made a bigger one from MDF. Not the prettiest but works a treat.SNippets said:Could you use a pasta roller as a mill if the width/gap of the rollers is enough?
Does the mashmaster not have one of these? It's a great feature.mikec said:Only problem I have with the Mashmaster mill, having a round shaft with no "flat" part, the chuck of the drill doesn't grip it that well and it can slip. I have to tighten the chuck two or three times while doing a 4-5kg grain bill.
Have a quick search for "which mill" you will find pages of results for it, other search terms are ebay mill, barley crusher and keg king mill. Not my mill of choice, there are people who have had issue with it and also people who are happy with it.res said:
