 Value Seems Good, But Does Not Include Mounting Plate and Clamps Aug 06, 2011
By Stephen Douglas
"The secret formula to life is service to life. If you serve life life serves you."
This just came from Amazon in one day! I should have looked at the picture more closely, it does not include the "optional" mounting plate and clamps. What you see in this picture is it. The quality seems good and it goes together with no tools in about a minute, but now I need to build a mounting system, unless I just want to bolt it onto a counter top or old desk. Wonder how much they are going to want for the mounting option... geezs... pricey for some steal and 2 grinding stones, I am tempted to design and build one my self and sell it for half the price with the mounting plate included.
I have been looking everywhere for about a month for a good grinder that will work in a power outage and all the stone grinders, from the manufactures I found, are pricey. Couldn't be the cost to construct, it must be that there is just not a big demand. Once I use it, I will give a complete review, but for the price, in comparison to others, I think this is the lowest cost for something of quality. I already tried one of the $15 to $20 cast iron old fashion mills and it desintigrated and seized up in 3 minutes of cranking on some beans (coo-dos to Amazon, they sent UPS to pick it up and returned my money, one of the reasons I try to buy direct from Amazon, they stand behind the products they sell).
3 Stars till I try making flour. I would have given 4 now, but for the money, you would think they could include mounting hardware.

Grind your own~ Dec 04, 2011
By T. Witman
This grain grinder was bought to add to my long term storage for when the crap hits the fan. I've tried it several times and it works great for whole grain wheat, both white and red. It IS work, but what do you expect? An electric one would be much easier but for disasters, who will have electricity? I mounted it to my workbench in my shop with 4 screws.
Very solid! Easy to clean! All powder coated paint. Stone grinding burrs work very well. Definitely though there is a learning curve to make bread and NOT HOCKEY PUCKS. The rise time must be extended a lot.
Well worth the money.

 slow but no major noise or lung dust Jan 16, 2012
By get ready
I got tired on the first LB of grain (I am 230 lb very fit stud) and took the handle off and chucked up my Milwaukee stud angle drill with huge torque and it ground up a pound in a few minutes. It is a strong old fashioned unit and my only complaint is how to catch the grind. Nothing, not even a large bowl right next to it would catch it all even though i was turning it slowly. It spews out a 360 degree pattern from the round stones and depending in velocity drops down into the bowl. It takes a lot of torque to turn it and the table clamp although very substantial was not enough and had to mount it to a 2 by 4 and then to my 10 inch shop vise and do it in the garage because of the mess. The grind is a little gritty from stone debris even though I threw away the first lb as in the instructions but I am sure that will go away after the high spots are worn off the stones.(I hope) as with birds, Rocks help the digestion, Right?

Great hand mill. Nov 01, 2011
By Craig Miller
It produces a sufficient amount of flour for your needs from raw grain. Worth the price. We started with corn bread from popcorn and produced a winning batch of muffins.
