BALL MILLS
Been looking into a ball mill.
Don't want to make my own. No ebay.
Want to crush field survey quantities of minerals into fine powders to
add to base glaze tests. With room to expand.

MESH SCREEN
Who has an innovative source besides pricy pottery/hobby suppliers?

Thanks,

McMaster-Carr has more sizes and styles than you can shake a stick at.
Reasonable prices. See
http://www.mcmaster.com/
You'll have to find where it's listed on the extensive table of contents.
Also, Trinity Ceramic Supply in Dallas, sells bronze screen in all the sizes
a potter could want. By the square foot - very reasonable.

Hi Joe,
I too have been looking for a larger ball mill jar. I called one of the
established manufacturers, and their 2.5 gallon porcelain jar was,
(cough), $880.00. Yow! I think I'll make my own....
Anyone know of decent jars for a more reasonable price?
Good grinding,

Hi Joe and all,
An innovated source for screens is through Silk Screen suppliers. I
purchased mine getting and 80 mesh size, then built a wooden box, or used
other containers to attach the screen on to. Brass is very good and be sure
to ask that they ship rolled up. Remember, this was a long time ago, so the
situation may be different now, but is worth a try.
Warm regards,
Bonnie Staffel, where the sun is finally shining and the leaves are bursting
on the trees. It is GREEN again.

Naw, they have 'em.
http://www.mcmaster.com/
Look down right side of page till you see:
"Parts Treating, Abrasives and Finishing"
in bold print. Then look for "Vibratory Media
and Machines". Click it.
You will see in the upper left corner of the
window "Catalog page < 2500 >".
Click the right arrow.
Presto-Voilla - A "Multi-Barrel Small Parts
Tumbler" will appear before your very eyes.
Looks like a ball mill to me.
Not the most friendly web-site in the world.

Hello Mr. Hendly,
Am I missing something in the topic of discussion, or in the McMaster
online listing? When I do a search for "ball mill" I get end cutting mills
and similar tools used for mill cutting of metal. Searching under other
entries with "mill" provides similar results for machinery related to mill
cutting. Expanding the listing for vibratory mills I do get "Rotary Barrel
Tumblers", one with a 7 quart capacity and another with a 4 gallon
capacity. These are steel with a rubber linning. Are these the units to
which you are refering?
With respect to wire cloth, yes there is a wide assortment of mesh sizes
and grades, in brass, bronze, and stainless steel. I like their stainless
steel wire cloth assortments in sheet sizes of 6"x6" or 12"x12" from 18 to
200 mesh. Go to:
http://www.mcmaster.com/asp/loadpage.asp?
pagenum=338&descid=37482&term=Type+304+Stainless+Steel+Wire+Cloth+Assortment
With respect to porcelain type ball mill jars, a company through eBay has
two different sizes 1 gal. & 2.75 gal. at what look to be reasonable
prices. They also have the mills to turn the jars.
http://stores.ebay.com/Ball-Mills-N-Rock-Tumblers_W0QQsspagenameZl2QQtZkm
The following ceramics/pottery supply companies (no personal affiliation)
also have porcelain jars at a reasonable price:
A.R.T. Studio Clay Co. - 2qt. to 3gal. jars + mills
http://www.artclay.com/catalog.html#
Axner - 1qt. to 3 gal. jars + mills
http://www.pottery-books.com/axner/equipment/ballmills.php
Bailey - 1qt to 1 gal. jars + mill
http://www.baileypottery.com/studioaccessories/prodequipment.htm
Georgies Ceramic & Clay Co. - 2qt. to 3gal. jars + mill
http://georgies.com/Catalog%20Pages/page-045.jpg
Laguna - 2qt. to 3gal. jars + mill

Dear Paul;
I got a real nice 3 gallon jar from Tacoma Clay Art for around $90 six
years ago.
Cheers, Hank____now visiting Mary Bowron in Boyds MD after a really fun
workshop with great people in Jessica Gitlis' ceramics studio at the
Greenbelt Arts Center in MD.
Jon Singer and I made dinner late last night for Mary Bowron in her
guest house, with the most exotic collection of spices I have ever used
(Jon brought them along) after Jon and I shopped at a Grand market
where we heard at least seven languages while shopping for coconut and
Galankha root. Dessert after the fruit was the first fireflies!

McMaster-Carr carries many kinds and sizes of sieves.
They do not, to my knowledge, have ball mills or anything relating
to ball mills.
That's the reason I left
