Looks good, I have one sugestion is to chage your hammer mechinism a little bit. When your hammer chains wear out you will have to remove it and weld on some new chain links and round bar. I think you need to just have one link either side of the drive nut and then put on 2 x D shackles on the end of the chain links, this benifits you in two ways. First these shackles are hardened and they will wear out less often and the second benifit is they just unscrew fron the chain to make it easier for them to be replaced.
Yes thats exactly what I will be doing 👍. The end chains have already worn alot, So soon it will be time to grind them off an replace with hardened D shackles. 👌, I have upgraded a trap door on the hopper area where it feeds in also. From bits an pieces of scrap its turning into a great little crusher. An everyone's ideas are great an helps myself an others wanting to build one. 👍
Been thinking of this concept for months! I was lazy, I admit it. But well done sir. Head ideas, into well thought out plans. Right on for having the job done. I'm fired
Good job mate. I was impressed with how neatly you cut out the rubber gasket. It looked like a bought one. Scored a Thumbs Up from me. Mark from Melbourne Australia.
@@justpanit9872 I really really like the video I was wondering if you could make me one for my wheel grinder that I have a big bundance of big lump coal that I want to crush down into smaller than rice coal for a home built G gauge steam locomotive that I'm building for coal firing I have so much coal I don't know what to do with and I don't want to spend hours with a hammer and chisel and crushing coal all day long by hand to size I needed to burn it in the locomotive I am building
@@harrybobb6764 hi mate I appreciate you asking me to make you one, But I honestly think you would be better buying a keene g-force rock crusher. I know you can purchase them from most prospecting shops here in Australia, I know reeds prospecting supplies sell them. (08) 92503388 they are W.A based im sure. Basically its a lawnmower engine turned into a crusher that sits onto of a 20-25 litre bucket. Search keene g-force rock crushers on TH-cam an check them out. Good luck 😊
Good one mate. Can I suggest that you attach a hinged metal flap over the inlet hole. Then you can open, drop in a sample, shut the lid while it’s making a racket. Have it hinged close to your preferred standing position so that the flap protects you from anything trying to come back out
Thanks. Hopefully its helpfull. I have changed the infeed. I added a cap on a hinge to close every time I put some samples in. It now puts out less dust. I do have other videos on my channel of it running with the new changes if you want to check it out. Cheers.
Hey buddy just found ur channel love thus little hammer mill just a thought to make it a little better a piece of felt or leather in between your grinder and the backing plate will stop dust getting into your bearing other than that it's perfect
If you add a hole in the top of your collection bucket, then attach a vacuum to that hole you wouldn't have that dust problem. I use a five gallon wet dry vacuum. Put a little water in the bucket and you end up with a fine slurry you can then process.
Add a cyclone onto it and a crushing mesh, see the Retsch ZM 200. Great ingenuity, very expensive rock crushing commercial machines. Eg rotary beater mill, jaw crushers are all mega £££££
How important to the function of the crusher is the chain length? Does the chain just barely contact the sides of the circle when stretched fully across the diameter? Or should it not touch the sides at all but be close? Thanks for the video! I'm going to make one to crush up mineral amendments for my farm.
Hi. Not touch the sides but close. Some people put a couple of welds inside to help the material bounce back up into the chains or D-shackles. Goodluck
I couldn't even tell you, as I had a bunch of rods given to me to burn up. But the ones I used on this seemed to be more like a stainless steel type rods. Probably not the correct type for the steel being used but I work with what I have. 👍
@@justpanit9872 yeh that’s allright ,reminded me of my dad when I gave him heap of rods,he rings up and says those weld all’s are the best rods I ever used ,I’m welding everything n I need some more ,I said ya fn joking they cost $500 bucks a packet,I told ya there for cast repairs 😂😂mad barsted
Hi mate just a few questions, where did you find the round pipe to use? And what size is the square piping? Thanks looking to make one this week hopefully
@@JamieSmith-gr8qs thats great to hear Jamie. I put a hinged flap at my inlet instead of using a rag, keeps the dust inside well. Congratulations on building one. Hope you find the jackpot soon.

Gonna go to harbor freight and get what I need and make me one. Save me hundreds. Thanks for the video
G'day Jules , that will come in very handy thanks for sharing
I like the little feed hooper. Might have to add something like that to my crusher.
Excellent job, from Mongolia.
Thank you.
Thanks for showing the details on how you fitted your grinder.
Fairly easy make legend, would be very handy for you doing your sampling of those out crops you've been testing lately. Goodluck bro. 🤘
thats the best portable ruck crusher I've seen on youtube , gonna make one just like it bro thanks for sharing
Cheers legend. Hope it helps you find that million dollar haul. 👍

Top job Mate. Well done. Thank you for sharing, Cheers from Michael.Australia.
excellent video and really simple great stuff
Great idea! Would have loved to see you pan that material
Nice job mate, great engineering 🇦🇺👍⛏️
Thanks Josh, I've got a bigger one in the works. I wonder how much more gold i ill uncover in future. ⛏ probably none haha
@@justpanit9872 you would be surprised what is trapped in the quartz mate, I hope you put up a video to see how you go
Thanks for the look

I'm going to make one this year in my down time
Amazing, very good job,, we love it in the UK..
Awesome to hear. 👍

After its first use. An having to grab a rag. I thought the same. Its definitely an idea that needs to happen. 👍
Very nice portable crusher. Thanks for sharing your design.😎⛏⛏🔥🔥

Thanks Richard. Now that is a good idea. 👍👍
Hi there Good job have good day and happy day be safe.
Happy holidays to all
Damn, I wish I had the materials and time to build this, looks like a really good crusher.
Keep an eye out for the materials it actually took me a few months in gathing bits an pieces up. But got there in the end.
@@justpanit9872 thanks bud. I got time so I'll keep an eye out.
Nice! is your circle case 8inches round? What's the depth...3inches?
You did the best out of the others God jop
Nice build I like it wtg on that.
Hello sir..this is a great job can i know,,what size for the pipe? Thank you🙏. I hope you answer my question😊
Very nice, well done.
Well done, i, am hooked ,i,ve just subscribed.
Would love to see you running say a cup full of stones in real time to see how long it takes to crush them
Not long thats for sure I put in 1 full handfull an it destroyed them in seconds also tried with blue metal stones an destroyed them to in seconds
@@justpanit9872 and is there any reason why the inlet chute is such a complicated design - why not just a straight chute in at say 45 degress ?
@@mohammednovalija its to stop the shattered pieces of rock flying out an hitting you.
That’s awesome mate, nice work!!! 💪💪
Cheers mate, it sure is a handy little item to have. 👍🍻
Right.s. ......Very good... thank.s

🤣🤣🤣 full send!
:) nice
👍
What size are the holes you drilled .
How long did that take to build?
A good few hours thats for sure.
You should mass produce these Rock Crusher Grinder Body/Bit for People who can't afford a $300 - $600 Rock Crusher.
Its not as silly as it sounds
Do you sell these?
Guys , what do you think about using an old pressure cooker as casing, seems like solving easy close and open
I would buy one in a heart beat have like 50 kgs of samples to go thru
Took me a little while to acquire the bits an pieces to make it. But its is a lot easier than the old dolley pot
@@justpanit9872 make make them and sell them $100-$200 each and make a killing
Hi mate just a few questions, where did you find the round pipe to use? And what size is the square piping? Thanks looking to make one this week hopefully
Round pipe - I found at a scrap steel shop. And square pipe is 2inch by 2inch.
But any size steel pipe thats similar in size should work. Good luck
Thanks I’ll let you know how I go, I’ll send a picture of it finished 😬
@@JamieSmith-gr8qs cool 👍
I got it finished but can’t share photos in comments, it works great 👍
@@JamieSmith-gr8qs thats great to hear Jamie. I put a hinged flap at my inlet instead of using a rag, keeps the dust inside well. Congratulations on building one. Hope you find the jackpot soon.
