I was looking for a new project and needed a mill. I like the monster mills, but never really liked the friction drive and the non adjustable first crush. So, I designed my own and picked up some scrap stainless from my neighbors workshop.
-80mm diameter, 150mm length rollers
-All sealed ball bearing joints (no bushings)
-20mm axle diameters, 30mm drive shaft diameter
-17-4 and 316 SST roller and eccentric adjuster material
-6063 aluminum side plates
-5% spiral, modified simon profile fluting, 12 flutes per inch
-Fully adjustable first and second crushes (.4-1.8mm)
-All gear driven rollers
Most pics are before I added the fluting to one roller. Still need to flute the others. Also still need to complete the hopper, input shaft details and select a drive motor/gearbox. Weighs in at 27lbs right now as shown.
