Post by backhousebrew »

Just finished the new grain mill
Used a kitchen base cabinet with 3/4" plywood top.
Casters added for mobility.
GFI protected, 1/3hp motor with a Rebel Mill grinder

Very cool - I was think of doing the same thing but my wife got upset when I told her I was ripping out one of the kitchen cabinets.

Where did you get the motor? That seems to be the only problem I am having. Did you worry about the combustible dust? Did you gear it down or pulleys?

The dust was a concern. That's the reason for the door
Here is some info from another mill I built a while back that might help.
