I had/have been thinking about building a dedicated grain mill motor setup for some time, but kept thinking about the Alton Brown idea that no tools in your kitchen should be used for only one thing.  Ended up getting the Harbor Freight low speed drill, although I kept looking at the DeWalt version and others.  Since I don't routinely mix up paint, mortar, etc. I decided to go with the Harbor Freight.  It has performed very well for the last 6 months, and it came with a spare set of motor brushes.  I love tools (nothing like the feel of a Snap-on wrench), but I think this has been a very good tool for something I use 2 to 4 times a month for 15 minutes at a time.  And I can mix paint or mortar when the need arises.
