Wtb: Grain Mill

[mxd]

seems like we have a enough in Melbourne.

 

[mxd]

I don't mind asking for prices etc.. unless the OP wants to ?

 

[Supra-Jim]

I have the hopper too and it's a nice piece of kit, esp for the price! Will save you stuffing around making your own.

Cheers SJ

I'd be interested in getting the hopper if you guys go ahead.

Cheers

I would be interested if a bulk buy gets off the ground.

 

[losp]

I am not really fussed who organises it guys (i can do it, or someone else). feel free to go ahead and ask for prices if you want. It seems like we have enough interest!

I'm sold after watching Klienys mill in action. I can still recall 4* after milling 25kilos of grain in about 2 minutes going "thank god that is over!" and me thinking "what the heck is he complaining about - that was awesome!"

Hahaha! I still say that with 5-6kg of grain with mine! Although i have been brewing in 30+ deg days and milling in the heat of the sun. I walk outside bone dry then stumble in sweating bullets and killing for a beer!

Yeah I saw that - currently seeking budget approval from SWMBO.

I'm only going to say this once, because I'll catch a lot of grief for it, but the Millmaster from Mashmaster.com.au is AWESOME.

I got mine through my LHBS and paid a pretty fair price for it (under $270in my hands) The rollers are MASSIVE and it very well constructed.

Drawbacks:

Grain can get into the gears (I made a piece of perspex to keep it all out at a cost of 0$)
Shaft is 12mm instead of 12.7mm so you need to get a custom pulley (about $65) if you are going to motorise it)

Everything else about it appears to be of a much higher grade than any other mill on the market, so I think I'll have it for life....

Oh, one last thing.. they are out of production, as they are making a few changes (as noted above.. covering gears and changing shaft size) but I hear they will be back in about 2 months.

Oh, I do know where 2 of these are, brand new and for sale. PM me if interested.

Pete is that $270 with crank handle, base and hopper?...

Im tossing up between getting a monsters mill 3/8" shaft and using the MM crank handle or getting the 1/2 inch and using a drill to power it?
What would you guys do?

My 18v will not go the 1/2 inch chuck, so the 10mm (3/8) was what I went for

You could always invest in a cheap corded ozito hammer drill (35 bucks). I believe they can take up to 1/2 inch.

 

[komodo]

but if your concidering a pulley remember that 1/2" is a common size where as 3/8 isnt

On the other hand 3/8 will suit more drills and you can always get a blank pulley with a custom bore milled for you should you require.

 

[Sammus]

3/8" is common enough. Try looking for a factory made 12mm bore pulley though lol.

 

[komodo]

Nothing much mechanical is in metric

Options, options... You start off thinking, that price is ok, and before you know it you've talked yourself into a few upgrades and paying way over your original limit...

MM2 USD108. Any reason i should buy a dearer one? Anyone complainng about this and saying, if only i'd spent a little more and got the mm2.0 or mm3..?

Hopper - Is it worth the USD30 + postage? Or can you easily make one, or is it not worth the stuffing around?

I just started intending to make cooper's kits, and before long i'll be building silos in my backyard...
