It's not certain that a motor for a low duty application like a lawnmower will be good in continuous use. There is no indication of motor speed. You could not likely run it at a ball mill speed for long without overheating.

So how is your washing machine modified for use as a mill?

Basically took the thing apart. Motor, belt and the pulley off the back of the drum (quite hard to remove). Made frames out of MDF to support motor and the rollers (made them, quite easy). I started with 1.5" rollers and ended up with a 4" drive roller. without the math, it's turning the jar at around 95 RPM. I'm using a 1.3lt jar and 1Kg of ceramic media, I only mill in 50g batches.

But how did you modify the fact that a washing machine has different speeds?
And it works ok yeh?
