Updup Posted October 18, 2010 Posted October 18, 2010 For those of you (Like me) who love pictures. Here, this is my ball mill, second version. Lift in 2-3 hours and star comps are done in 30 minutes or so. Can handle x2 4"X4" PVC drums, though I only have media for one (Takes 300 1/2" whatever), 200g max per drum for BP, and for other comps it just depends how much charcoal you add. Only thing I dont like about it is the motor gets so hot you can't touch it, I generally have a fan out there with it, but even so it gets hot.

Mabye, it dosn't seem like a high enough RPM motor to drive a fan for itself. Eletric tape for the belt. Works like a charm.
