G'day Mark

My story with my mill is that I was using my Milwaukee battery drill, but at the required slow speed, and milling around 5kg grain, the handle started getting VERY hot. Burnout imminent, I says to meself!

So I bit the bullet and got a Motion Dynamics geared motor and speed controller, built a box to house it all, and it's brilliant - I've never looked back. But - a bit expensive perhaps.

A lot of guys just go to Bunnings and get one of those big cheap drills with a warranty, and if it burns out, so what - go get another one.

Happy milling with whatever option you decide.

If you can find the Ozito spade handle drill it's the bomb. Handles low speed for a long time with ease. We milled about 250k of grain one night using one and it didn't even get hot.

Hey Mark,

I bought this one...

https://www.tradetools.com/product-range/power-tools/hand-held-power-tools/renegade-industrial-drill-800w-1-2-var-spd-for-rev

Works great on my MashMaster, heaps of torque and low speed. Low cost and good warranty.

Secondhand wheelchair motor.$30-50
DC to DC motor controller , eBay$15
Lovejoy coupler$20
Machining to bore diameters to mate wheelchair motor to minimill $depends who you know...... Lathe... Give beers
Laptop power supply (19V) $Free they're everywhere.

Scrap wood, tools, some minor blood loss, screws, beers, food.

A great build, tough as... Those motors are designed for serious torque. Laptop power supply has over current trip. Should you shove your fingers into the rollers, it will hurt a lot, but you'll still be able to do your own testicle checks.

Add LED lights for bling, cred and *** appeal.

Yob is going to ping me for not doing my build thread......

But....
To get all the benefits of actually owning a drill and ...cough... to actually answer the OP.

The low range is the bomb. unstoppable.

Cheap 500W skil from bunnings, bought it years ago, never let me down, I do have to regulate speed with the trigger though!

I just brought a mashmaster mill (this morning actually) and I plan to set mine up with the motor you mention. The sad part is I can't afford the motor just yet so I'll just have to stare at my mill until I get the funds together. A bit expensive but you get what you pay for I reckon. It's worth waiting for.
