Hey all, old guy but newbie here.
Over the past few months I've had a renewed intrest in making BP and started down the rabbit hole with my newish hobby. Just wanted you all to see a few mods I've made to my ball mill since I've started.
I didn't like the plastic bushing idea so I installed bearings, always add fans to my projects that need a bit of cooling.
The unit runs at about 90 RPM.
Started without the mill using the CIA method but didn't like the outcome so I invested in the ball mill and started getting some pretty fast powder. After changing a few belts and cleaning and greasing up the bushings a bunch I decided it was time for some mods. Ball bearings Ace hardware, 3/8" aluminum bar stock and a 14vdc cooling fan (with a 14vdc switch mode power supply for power, complements of a wall wart)
