Bern making these for some time now but using a step down transformer to 12 volts from 120 and and speed controller. For a motor I use window motors from vehicles. Easy to control the speed as they a already gear reduced and have lots of torque.

That would work. I only used the step down transformer because I take it to all my buddies and tumble there shake for the kief. Its just easier to plug in than carry around a car battery and no recharging.

I was using a 180 micron screen but have recently switched it out for a 105 micron as I was getting too much plant matter
