Twotails Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Ok I want to buy a ballmill. I do not want to make one. Can I have a link to a site that sells them. thanks! www.cannonfuse.com has a nice one for around $45, im buying one tonightits a three pound mill, so kinda small but still....
TheEskimo Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 Go to pyrodirect.com, they have 15, and 30 pound ball mills. I have the 15 pounder...175 is a bit of $$, but it works great, and has very sturdy, all metal construction.
Mumbles Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I didn't think their came with the jar. The original manufacturer still sells them on ebay for around the same price. I just got one as well, and it sems good. I'm milling some KNO3 right now. Others seem satisfied with them as well.
TrueBluePyro Posted August 15, 2009 Posted August 15, 2009 I have the 15lb mill also, but I got mine from firefox-fx.
TrueBluePyro Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 oh really, where at? I guess there is no point now, I got it a while ago and im not going to buy another one. Im biulding my next ball mill.
Mumbles Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Sorry about that, I deleted my post when I realized that the source I was looking at was actually in the US. They were 180 AUD, but shipping was about $100 AUD. Most of the others I found were around 300-400 AUD, so I guess they'd end up being equal after shipping.
TrueBluePyro Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Yeah, I was thinking that proce was a little cheap, anyway. I think the best way is to just make a ball mill, I bought one cause I wanted to start right away, I wouldnt of minded making one, but my dad thought it would just be easyer just buying it cause finding a cheap motor is kinda hard. Im planing on biulding a ball mill now, maybe something like the passfire one.
Swede Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 I call those yellow mills from Pyrodirect and other places the Hobfir mill because I think the guy that makes them is hobfir from eBay. I have one too, and I must admit, they are pretty good. Not cheap, but they do the job infinitely better than a rock tumbler.
KruseMissile Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 For a cheap one go to harborfreight.com You can get a 6lb ball mill for $50 w/o shipping tho. Here is the one i have(only they painted them blue now).http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=65840 But i recently made one and its alot nicer and i spent prolly around $75.
MadMat Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Do you have to change any pulley/gear ratios on the Harbor Freight mills? Just wondering what RPM it runs at stock from the store. Edited May 4, 2017 by MadMat
starxplor Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 I call those yellow mills from Pyrodirect and other places the Hobfir mill because I think the guy that makes them is hobfir from eBay. I have one too, and I must admit, they are pretty good. Not cheap, but they do the job infinitely better than a rock tumbler. Interestingly, it seems all the tumblers have been marked up to 1,000USD. I guess they don't want to make more of them unless someone is really gullible. http://www.ebay.com/sch/hobfir/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=
Mumbles Posted May 4, 2017 Posted May 4, 2017 Do you have to change any pulley/gear ratios on the Harbor Freight mills? Just wondering what RPM it runs at stock from the store. Harbor freight runs about 40 RPM stock, give or take a little bit. There isn't a ton of room inside the motor compartment do do much adjusting upwards. Typically the easiest way to increase RPM is to increase the diameter of the drive shaft by slipping a rubber tube or something over it. The optimal speed is around 90 RPM.
clarkie752 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Caleb sells the already optimised ballmill with his hardened lead media on his site.http://www.woodysrocks.com/store/p94/Rebel_Upgraded_Complete_Set-Up_w%2F_35lb_Lead.htmlThat's the link if I did it right.Adam
dynomike1 Posted May 5, 2017 Posted May 5, 2017 Used motors are all over E bay, but you need a big one and a small one for testing anyway.
