I was able to find a used Grain Maker 116 on FB market place. I would not have purchased new due to cost but was able to get a great deal on it. It’s a large unit but I plan to take it to our get togethers so others can use it also. I watched fb for a long time…. It’s a great unit.

These look fantastic, and made in Montana. If I make profit from my mill I’m saving it toward the Grain Maker.

We have the family grain mill. We love it. It’s manual but can attach to a kitchen aid. We have the grain grinder and oat flaker☺

I have a Wonder-Mill junior deluxe and love it. It comes with two sets of stones and grinds pretty much everything from coffee to peanuts. Yes, you can make butters with it, though I have not done it yet. There are several different attachment for power units available even a drill bit attachment. Not sure where it’s made. 🤔

I think it is made in India. I got one a few months ago too. I make hard wheat berry flour, amaranth flour, almond butter, peanut butter. Really any nut butter.

Nut butter is much easier than grains. Have to sift and grind a couple times to get nice flour but that is fine.

One flaw is that they have powder bake painted(not sure of right term) some parts of the grinding burrs. That paint has rubbed off or flaked off on the back of the spinning bur. Hope it wasnt too toxic. Didn’t notice till we already ate the flour and or butter.

I have the drill bit attachment and i like to manually crank over using the drill. It seems to take more strength cause you need to limit the speed. My drill stupidly has an automatic highspeed to lowspeed adjustment so i cant slow it down besides with the trigger. Also, not as much leverage in the drill handle.

Wow, I still haven’t used my mill, but once and haven’t noticed anything. I might just go ahead and grind the paint off when I finally set it up (still haven’t found a proper place in my tiny kitchen where it’s not in the way). I’m thinking of getting a bicycle sprocket for it . My husband can then attach the rest to make it into a treadle powered mill when power is out.

Also, if you are looking for a grain mill, maybe you’re also looking for a reliable source of grain supplier.

I have The Family Grain Mill which can be hooked up to a motor or a bike wheel so u can power it by riding the bike.

I have a WhisperMill (it’s quiet loud) but it’s electric.

I want a flaker so bad! I do have a DLX (old version of Ankarasum) that has that attachment.

I thought Family Grain Mill makes a flaker…..??? I thought I had one.

[KramitDreams]

The family grain mill does have a flaker attachment, we have one.

[Helene65]

I’m looking for something that CRACKS grains

Make steel cut or Irish cut or Scotch cut or grits—these all mean the same thing lol

I just figured out my Whispermill won’t crack anything, just different texture flour. Not rly even do cornmeal 😵‍💫 I had thought it was cornmeal but it’s not rly coarse enough.

Im not buying Mockmill lol

[PWDOhioRaptureReady]

We have this one also but haven’t used it yet. I also bought a Komo, haven’t used it yet either. Also have a Vita-Mix and it does a great job grinding flour, I have used it for that. You do have to have the special pitcher for grinding hard things.

It’s a hand crank, not the DLX/Ankarasum that u prob have.

It’s an old hand mill version, from the 90s. The Country Grain Mill may be the name.

This is about what I was thinking would work well for me. I like the option of attaching the drill to power it. I will continue to researching. Do you know if it is made in the USA?
