I got lucky and found the motor and gear box in our scrap pile at
work. Retail value is about 300 $$ new. Motor and gear box reducer from Boston Gear. About 15:1 ..Maybe e-bay would have something similar..Like I said I got really lucky with finding it, I was also ready to go with the pulley till I came across it.
I have a machine shop here at work too so that made modifications easy..
A nice fellow on this board gave me a foot switch (not shown) and now the wiring is complete. It is ready to go...
I also purchased larger plates for the "beast" 3/8" and 1/2"
the one that comes with it is too small and will clog with fish scales and Guck...
I should be able to just drop fish in while sipping a cold one, and watch them squeeze out the other side into a pail or bag.
YUMMY
BIGBO:
Didn't think to check grainger, what $$ range ??
The coupler had to have different sizes on each end, that I found at Mcmaster carr catalog (online)
Mike: Sorry for hijacking your thread, but whoever buys your grinder will be smarter and able to make a nice machine out of her !!!!
