You’re a better moonshiner than electrician. You switched the neutral. That being said, thanks for your videos. I really enjoy them.

Im a couple of sugar washes away before I need a grain mill but this is a great vid. Since Barley and Hops has taken a break, you've become my go to for the DIY side of this hobby. Thank you!

Thanks for this video. I bought the same unit two years ago and had your same experience mostly. My cord was already attached when I received it. My biggest difference from your first milling was that the grinder would jam if I tried to do a fine mill from whole corn. Clearing the jam is not difficult fortunately, just open the grinder door and spin the plate. I ended up doing three grinds from coarse to medium to fine. Also had to keep a close watch on the gate opening. Too far open and the machine would jam again. Even so, I like this grinder.

I have had mine a bit over a year and use it 1 time a week to grind a bit of pig feed. Works great..very useful for other grinding needs as well

I bought two of these (green ones) when I lived in Hanoi 2008-2012, one was steel bur, the other composite stone. They are easy to assemble. The little bent angle piece of aluminium is the grain shute control slider. The biggest issue with both mills was dust control, and cleaning. Apart from that, they were solid items that never missed a beat even after 10 years of operation, when I onsold them to other people. and afik they are still using them to this day without problem.

I could not agree more about missing components, missing instruction manual, missing on and off switch on the grinder. Have just assembled my grinder today, thanks to your video which helped me in the process. I managed to get it to work without making your very sensible adaptations because i am not as tech as you are. I got a rough grind the first time around but managed to use instructions in your video to adjust the fineness of the chick - pea flour. I would have struggled without your brilliant video. Many, many thanks.

I've got one too. I run through about 200lbs of feed corn a month and it works Great.

Find some food grade lubricating grease for the bearing. It is a highly refined paraffin base with friction modifiers and is usually white in color. Just put a dab on the bearing before using the grinder.

Thanks for the video. Mine just arrived today and there's no manual either. The ball bearing and a bunch of stuff were lying loose in the box and I'd no idea what to do. Do you know if the disc can be washed (will it rust)? It has a layer of thick industrial grease. I'm thinking of washing them off and grease with cooking oil instead. Will be grinding oat to flour and cant have them smelling like engine oil

The Hot leg(black wire) is the one that should be switched, and there should be a pigtail added to the green and bonded (screwed) to the box. Thereby the entire tool will be grounded. That is code in the four states that I have worked in. The white wires go under silver screws and the black wires go under gold screws. The dust from grain is amazingly explosive. I can smell fresh bread even now.

We've been using a grinder like that for a couple of years in our tiny distillery. After about 300 lbs of corn, that ball bearing gets dry, and it starts eating away at that soft cast iron door socket - keep her lubed up!

This hobby really does favor people with what my wife calls Figure "Stuff" Out Skills.

Thank you for your video.

Not a wire man by anyone s imagination. I had a new on off switch put on. Get it rolling and pour in the corn moderately, otherwise my mill might short. Now, works great, glad I got it.

I have this model in 220v. It didn't come with a power cord, so I had to figure that out. It does a great job & will chew through whatever I feed it. If it died, I'd buy another one.

Thank for your video

Nice mill Cyrus. Seems cheap made in China stuff is usually lacking clear instructions, and takes a little fiddling to get it right. Switching the nutral instead is not that big of a deal in a plug-in appliance, but definitely switch the hot for household wiring. Always test for voltage, I once changed a light fixture in a rental, and found out they had the switch wired to nutral, with my meter. A year later, the house was sold, and the new landlord went to work on it. He was going to do it without testing. I told him it was still hot when switched off. He didn't believe me, but I convinced him to test before touching it... Saved him an unpleasant experience... When switched from the hot, the circuit will have no voltage when switched off. If wired the other way, it works, but the hot side is still hot. For something that plugs in, not a deal breaker, just unplug it before servicing. For household wiring, always confirm with a meter. There are several ways a circuit could still be hot when it shouldn't be.

I recently bought a grinder, but this one comes with a power switch, I have tried it with dry wheat and corn (not dry) and it hasn't given me any problems, as for the loading hopper, mine comes with a plastic one that fits into the body of the grinder so you don't need additional screws.

With a 3000W motor, how does it operate on a standard household 15A or 20A circuit? 3000W/120V=25A or 3000W/110V=27.3A Is your circuit breaker constantly throwing out?

Can someone tell me how to find that hopper standing pls can't find it 🤔

Just to add... the ground (green) wire shall be bonded to the metal box... this would also be a great addition to ground the grinder. Lastly keep in mind dust CAN become explosive!

I'm looking at buying one of these. What's your opinion on after (almost) a year later?

i bought one it works good check the motor for switch

Would it void the warranty modifying the electrical connection?

Loved your video. Try to always switch the black hot wire and line side of the switch is always on the top, and the load side going to the motor is on the bottom side of the switch. Make sure switch says on and off and not no and ffo. It's all good anyway.

Nice video

I have been contemplating that one and the one from tractor supply. Did you consider that one and why did you decide on this one

Can this grand tomatoes

I'd leave that in the review on Amazon just so others know

An EZ way to make a gasket is to put a bead of silicone on one side then cover with Saran wrap. Now put a bead of silicone on the other side and cover it with Saran Wrap. Close the door and leave it for 24hrs. You may be able to remove the Saran Wrap but just trim if you cannot.

Would it work on wood chips?

Does it grind small enough to make flour

Is there not an American made mill? Just recently I was looking for an onion head for my 26 gallon still…3” connection. I could have bought a Chinese one. I found a gentleman from Ozark still works in Indiana to make me one. For around the same price. I’m not one to ever tell anyone else what to do… But it would seem an American company would make one… And probably better.🤷‍♂️😊👍🥃 Best wishes. Love the channel and content.

Sometimes if you go internet they put the instructions manual threre I bought one similar ball ache to put together when I finely finished my wife says the instructions are on line couldn’t have told me an hour before 🤦‍♂️

You should tape the wire nut on so it doesn’t vibrate off.

It's common practice to switch the hot ( black) wire. This is to keep the 110v away from the device when it's turned off.

immediately order another set of steel burrs

I guess it doesn't mill as fine as a Victoria Corn Mill to make fine corn flour for Nixtamalized corn for fresh homemade corn Masa tortillas?

What Horsepower Motor?

I have one for grinding rock salt for making brine for ice clearing. Amazing so far n

That’s can make Cracked Corn sir?

But when I finish grain I seen some ston on it please let me know why

The lack of a switch is a safety feature. Be careful it doesn't get switched on when you have your hand in it or have the face off! If you are gonna keep the switch, you may want to make "off" the down position. But I wouldn't have the switch.

I ordered one and it doesn’t have a spring loaded plate

you do know you did that back words black is the hot wires they go to the yellow sc

FYI... there are extension cords with a built in switch..

How much was it?

Thank you for the video I am looking to buy one just like if thank you

If it has a capacitor start on the motor, you cannot put a rheostat on it.

Black is the hot wire. White is the neutral. Green is the ground.

one thing I am going to say, is if it lets you go metal on metal, that's a hunk of junk. Because, if it can, it will, and that would be hazardous to sell or give to animals.

You just got one that was supposed to go where safety is not a big deal

Re: Switch. Just plug the machine into an individually switched power board and use the switch on the power board....Simple.

Im suprised nobody noticed he put the S.O cord connectors in wrong

As a professional electrical with 352 years of experience and member of 130 unions worldwide and 2 extraterrestrial galactic unions, your electrical work is bad and you should feel bad! Lol great vid man

If you purchase, you will never find parts if you need to replace anything that you can't find at hardware store. Throw away equipment that can't be repaired. They work, just be aware

Your back back is very high.

Cyrus, if you got instructions, you probably couldn’t read them anyways Chinese

I got a blue one it has a on off switch
