[QUOTE="MJB, post: 104464, member: 1222"] Hey AtomRat, I did toy with the idea of the chain style crusher but I figured I would try this type first with the possibility of making the chain one later if needed. I have access to a mig welder with hard facing wire so if the impellors start to wear I can build them up again. The hard facing wire has alot of impact resistance properties making it ideal for this sort of application. Like you say though, if its working fine why change it? BathurstGold, there is a slotted screen fitted in the bottom of the drum to allow the crushed dirt to fall out. I have fitted another bit of RHS to which a hose can be attached to better direct the dirt into a pan if need be but I just put a 20L bucket under it to catch everything...works a treat but dusty as hell, a dust mask is a must. Dwt, that is an unreal machine and I bet with those paddles it must make one hell of a racket. I can't wait to see your vid of it in action. Paired with a sluice that would be deadly on gold big and small...great stuff! How does the jaw crusher work? Cheers [/QUOTE]
