[WTB] MillMaster MKII Crank Handle

[zappa]

Does anyone have one of these crank handles they're no longer using and don't mind parting with?

 

[Yob]

Why not fit a drill/motor?

 

[andytork]

Think I have one, not sure what version, will take a look tomorrow.

 

[zappa]

Glutton for punishment I guess. I've been using vice grips as a makeshift handle and it doesn't take that long to mill 11kg of grain. Really just enjoy the process, and i reckon it would be a good backup should your motor burn out. I do have a shaft coupler and will eventually hook it up to a wiper motor - just have to build my bench first!

 

[Yob]

I used to enjoy bottling too...

Doesn't mean I'd go back to it if I had the choice though

 

[zappa]

Fair call! If no one has a handle, i'll have a motor on it sooner than later I guess B)

 

[barls]

Does the handle off a mk1 fit it?
If so I've got one of those

 

[zappa]

I'm not sure to be honest. If it fits a half inch shaft, should be fine

 

[real_beer]

I think the MK11 shaft is smaller & metric but it's definitely a different size. Just don't mess your shaft up too much on your mill using multi grips or it might give you a problem trying to fit either a handle or coupling if you decide to motorise it.

 

[zappa]

Yeah, always wrap a rag around the shaft first. Not a mark on it

Well, was in a rush to get a brew out on Sunday, so used my $20 k-mart corded drill. Had to mill quite coarse at first, then sent it all through again for a finer crush. I can see the appeal of the motorized mill now. Convenient!

Get the ozito spade handle drill or equivalent mate. It's a motor, chuck, power supply, control dial, on/off switch, housing, power lead all built into a very tidy package available at you local green shed.

 

[zappa]

Cheers pf, I might just go that route. Very practical!

If that's the 750W drill, I can definitely recommend that - works a treat.

If so I've got one of those

If you are interested in parting with it I have a mark one and a motor I dont use. I would be interested.
