Just getting into crushing my own grain and recently purchased a Crankandstein.
Found an old dusty table in the basement and it seemed to be just the right size to mount everything.
The drill is a harbor freight Bauer low speed drill/mixer (0-600 RPMs).
It conveniently had a place to screw a (3" approx.) 14 mm bolt so I could mount it upside down.
Then I used the template that came with the Crankandstein (to cut and drill holes) to mount the mill.
Crankandstein recommend running it around 200 RPMs. I have a zip tie on the trigger right now and just guessing at the speed.
Still trying figure out a more accurate way to count revolutions so I can run it at the optimal speed.
Cheers!
