There's no way I could possibly make this -- it would cost so much to buy the tools that I could buy ten mills. But this was a good video. It explains how to make the mill in a reasonable amount of detail. Good job!
@@cepochukwu If you already know how to used them. And even then, you can probably buy a mill for less than the tool rental. Mills aren’t that expensive.
That thing is an absolute unit! Any thoughts on a gear reduction? Those rollers are so big the torque is only multiplied by? 3 maybe 4 by the length of that arm. The 1/2 thick SS side plates should be able to take quite a bit more. But gearing is a pain to machine in. Looking forward to it crushing stuff!
No, not gear reduction, but I did originally consider gearing it so the handle would also spin the movable roller. I decided it would be too complicated to pursue at this point. Maybe a later upgrade.
That would've been ideal, but they're not. My original intent was to clad them with stainless tubing, but it didn't work. You can read about that idea here: www.greensandmachines.com/2020/02/grain-mill-part-6-failed-roller-idea.html
Hey would this work to grind gold plated copper pins conecter pins to a powder after soaking in liquid nitrogen( negative 109 to negative 182 degrees farenheit to make the pins brittle)?
Not everyone can afford to rent, buy or build a milling machine or even the the equipment and materials to build a milling machine. I rather continue grind my grain by hand. With the use of a stone on a rock, like the American Indians did in the past or buy in bulk if needed.

well, there's always an option to hire those tools.

You built your own grain mill... wow very impressive. Cant wait to see it in action. Thanks for the awesome video
Very Cool
Anyone have All the tools required for this diy?
I don't, I've just been taking a class at the local community college to have access to their shop
Awesome presentation on the reality of starting and finishing a project...
you could use some gear ratio to make it easier to turn
How do I set up seive?
very nice
This is pretty cool - New friend Ruthie

Were the rolls also made of stainless?

Cool! What is the name of the tool to get the texture on the rollers?
should be knurling tool
you need a fly wheel

There's only one way to find out
I want it in mini size...
Like to fine crush soaked groundnut for one or two person.
