Who owns a rolling mill?

[12345678910]

You have those plans?
I'd love to do a group build some weekend with like-minded people.
The composite brain power and experience in a group could put a bunch of them together at once. And possibly save money buying quantities of materials.
Everyone would go home with a mill.

Of course you know, just do one first.

I've researched them quite a bit and some comments are that it's built too low for a tall man.

The gearbox and variable speed motor is the way to go compared to all the chains and sprockets, but puts build price way up.

The v belt and pulley provide a slip clutch safety against entrapment that you wouldn't get with just roller chain, or gears.

Is that gearbox a 100:1 ?
What rpm does he find he runs it at ?
