Grain Mill Motor

[takai]

Use a car battery. You will find one in your car, under the bonnet.

I have several of those, also not what i was after. 240v makes for much easier constant power supply.

Been running my Marga using a window winder motor for a few years now. Always been meaning to post a pic. Finally went one better and took a small vid:



Bought it from Oatley electronics, (Toyota) and runs from an old PC power supply. Only turns at about 80RPM but works fine. It's a nice grunty little motor.

Been meaning to make a more permanent stand for it but this works pretty well and sets up in a few mins.

PS - is there a way of embedding a youtube vid ?? Did a search but can't find anything ???

Hay do you still use this mill?
How well does it work?
I’m thinking of getting one but am unsure, can you do a mill down to cracking the small grains in a single milling?
