Is this for grinding feed?
Going to be a stationary unit or portable?

some of the garden shredders are basally hammer mills,

IMO I would find one that was manufactured and copy it, my be not as wide as the full farm mill, (my old JD mill is 14 inches wide) and they made a few smaller sizes I think as well, bear cat made a heavy one,
and of course there are many others, but if you have a friend who has one take pictures and a tape measure and copy,

you can down load a parts book of the old JD mills off of the john Deere parts site, (you will have to sign in to it),

not sure if this URL will work but if it does the 14 hammer mill parts book, in pdf,

this one was slow in opening, for me,

there is a post on this discussion on RPM of the rotors,

(one does not need a blower unless that is your method of wanting to move the ground materials, but one can jsut let it drop out of the bottom)

also do a image search,

hey bhd cheers for that info

oldnslo(?) its mostly going to be for making rock dust but i will possibly use it for feed when my operation becomes big enough

Rock Dust? Does that mean you are making a rock crusher/pulverizer? A hammermill for grinding feed Vs a rock crusher are two entirely different machines.
