There are lots of good ideas on this site for the mills and this is my interpretation.
I've just finished mounting my mill on a trolley I bought from eBay. It's nice having it in wheels because I can wheel it outside of my brew room when crushing to reduce the dust mess. My electronic scales fit perfectly on it and it's a good height for measuring out the grain bill.
I used a scrap piece of plywood underneath to give some rigidity because the sheet of the trolley is a bit flimsy and I could see the torque was causing some twisting. The timber will also stop the grain dust sticking to the underside of the trolley due to static charge.
I need to make a chute now to go into a bucket. Currently I use a box to prop up a plastic pail underneath to reduce the gap under the mill.
Couple of things I learnt were:
- I have the original Motion Dynamics board. There is a jumper on it that you need to remove off you want the switch to work. Otherwise it's always ON.
- I bought one of the cheap Chinese eBay spiders. 1/2 inch to 12mm. I found I was getting slippage so I roughed up the 12mm rod a bit with a file to get more grip which seemed to do the trick.
