So, I'm starting to think about motorizing my mill. I have a grain gobler that I bought from morebeer 6 or 7 years ago. I'm thinking of picking up a little kitchen cart with a butcher block top from Target (see this, ) cutting a hole in the top and mounting the mill to it. If I move the second shelf down, I should be able to fit a bucket under the mill.
The only thing I think I'll have to figure out is what size motor do I need and what size pulleys. Harbor freight had some rather cheap motors that look like they would work, but I don't really know. Also, how do I mount the pulley to the mill. I can get a drill bit adapter for the mill that I think will work for the axle for the pulley, but I've never dealt with mounting pulleys before.
Anybody have any info on motors and pulleys? Thanks.
