Coupler to connect Motion Dynamics mill motor to Marga Mill

[Jaded and Bitter]

Ok,

I just ordered a mill motor from motion dynamics to plug to my marga mill.

Cutting up the marga mill crank is no problem, but where can I get a coupler and 12mm shaft to connect it all up?

I had a look on the jaycar website with no luck. Any help?

This one will be fine.
As for the 12mm shaft I have no idea. Maybe your local engineering place.
I know a few people run these as the power source for the mill.
I need to do something soon & motorize my mill. I'll probably end up with one of these.

I'd speak to an industrial supplies business for this gear.
I got my coupling from these guys which says there is someone in the ACT who may be able to help.
My shaft is a stainless tube from where I worked.

Couplers look nice, ah China... Is there nothing they cant copy poorly but so much cheaper we will still buy it.

360W power souce. Lol - just bought one the same on evilbay for $32.19.

Timken ones look nice, I'll check prices. Hell at $20-30 dollars id go'Timken over Diamond brand.

I need to measure the shaft from the Marga, think its 6-8mm.

yep margas 8mm shaft

went with one of these:

a bit of 12mm stock is bound to turn up.

Sweet!
