Interesting build, looking forward to see progress and ofcourse a video when crushing!

I am working on some crushing equipment as well, but a slightly larger setup using existing laboratory crushers.

Exactly, I need to see if I can get some help milling a new fixed plate.

Any pics of that build?

I just started a thread for the new company.

As I sold the crusher a few months ago I still had a few parts left from the lasercutter to make another one, but I only have parts to make the crusherbox, so thats what Im going to do for now.

But this will be a slower build I think, I also lost all cad files when my harddrive gave up, Im going to let someone take a look to see if I can get some files back.
So I started to make another eccentric, axle is the exact same as the first one, 4mm throw, seem to work pretty good, one thing I will change later is the crush plates, this time they will be offset to each other, made that misstake on the first one to have them edge to edge.

Oh well, here is what I have so far...
