Nice ! How is it holding up a year latter ? I gotta ask if you had that flail shaft balanced ? I'd say that has got to be the most critical component to cut down on severe vibration !
thank you for all the details - I like this design - my need is to crush charcoal I am making for biochar - so the material is not as hard as rock, but same idea to make it into a powder or less than 1/4" - where should I look for the 16" pipe material you used? I keep looking for stuff to "re-purpose" and obtain cheap !
Larry, how is the motor holding up? I just started making one and am concerned that the bearings in the Harbor Freight motor may not hold up with the constant vibrating pull always in the same direction. I wonder if a second pulley mounted 180 degrees from the direction of the crusher shaft, mounted on a lubricated bearing would be worth the effort? Good work and thanks for posting this video, and, yes, I watched Jeff William's video, as well.
Do you know if crushed kitchen dishware (ceramics), glassware and porcelain bathroom sinks would make a good soil? I have about 50 pounds of fine powder crushed out of these things with more to come soon.
