Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Desktop ball Mill for making powder

Does anyone actually make these or do you just have to make them yourself?

Get a small tumbler from HF or another source and use steel ball bearings. It'll work but not for perfect sizing of your particulates.

Do not use steel ball bearings because of the spark factor, use lead balls.

ETA: unless you're talking about the drum rotating ON steel bearings (some sort of upgrade to the HF tumbler perhaps?) and not using them IN the drum to pulverize the BP ingredients then disregard and carry on
