Motor Kit Barley Crusher

I used a laser to align the shafts, which requires small washers to raise the height to the correct level. The coupling is plastic and you can't get it tight enough on the shaft. (Keeps slipping) Adjusting the rollers on the gain mill is critical. Just the slightest jam will cause the motor to stop and overheat, then you have to wait for it to cool down, take the grain out of the mill, recheck the rollers, which are fine, (Works well with the manual crank arm). Shaft should have a flat end and/or keyway which would allow a proper connection. Coupling should have been metal. I would recommend a "Lovejoy" coupling, (I'm going to try and order one to see if it works better--if it does I will update my review.) I'm a mechanical engineer in the HVAC business, so mechanical and electrical wiring are easy for me. I just can't get it to work correctly. I would not recommend unless they make some quality improvements.

Purchased for my Barley Crusher mill. Overall, very happy with the product, and it works as advertised. There were 0 instructions included in the package, but was able to find some from another online shop. You will need to do this for the wiring diagram, as the wires are opposite colors than expected. The key for mounting is getting the height of the mill to match the motor connection. After some maneuvering everything works just fine. I've crushed about 100lbs in the last couple weeks without any issues.
