I've built 2 motorized grain mills. The first used a 600w (input power) 3/8" drill. It worked well enough with a loose crush (0.040") but I ended up frying the drill when trying to crush at 0.035", so this is a good candidate to gauge the minimum torque. A 600W drill produces about 380W mechanical output. I was using this on just under half power - the ...

If you don't want speculative answers based on what might be other users real experiences, I suggest contacting the Barley Crusher people directly. So few homebrewers are being that specific about the torque in the way they use the mill that I think you'd have to cruise many forums to find the 1% of the brewing populace that has already done the homework ...
