I am looking for a decent motor to power my barley crusher. I am looking for something similar to the old school "beefy bodine" but I believe that has been discontinued many years ago. Does anyone have a decent direct drive motor they can recommend?
The deal with a pulley as opposed to a direct drive is the 'pull' sideways against the oilite bearings. They will wear oblong in time. However, they can probably be replaced...Motion Industries shows 1300 returns on a search for 'oilite bearing'
Barley Crusher actually reccomend a against a motor and a pulley. They recommend a drill or drill type motor. That's what I did with mine. Many people have used this drill and love it. I get to use it for the first time tomorrow.
Can anyone identify the drill used here? Interested in this since it has a trigger lock and can control the speed.
Out of curiosity, I just picked up a GE gear motor that is rated for 177 rpm and 40 lbs-in. I'm curious, do you all think that will work for my MM3?
That sure sounds familiar. Does it look like the one in this picture?
If so...I've been using that motor with a Barley Crusher mill for the last year, and it's a good match...
Cheers!
Do you think that it will work with a monster mill 3? I'm a bit worried about the extra roller and torque requirement.
