Machined-Steel Grain Mill
Bitterroot Tool & Machine manufactures each GrainMaker® mill in their Montana machine shop. The mill easily handles all types of grain and seeds, from tiny flax seeds to kernels of corn and legumes. The powder-coated finish and hardened steel burrs clean up easily. The mill stands 12-in. tall from the base to the top of the hopper and weighs 23 lbs. It must be bolted or clamped to a surface before use.
  Each mill is handcrafted of welded steel, they are not cast. Every part of the mill, including the body, handle, hopper, stainless steel GrainBreaker auger, and high-quality alloy grinding burrs, are made on-site. The exclusive grinding burrs – one stationary and one rotating – are owner Randy Jones’ unique design. They are individually machined using a process that has enabled the GrainMaker to proudly include them as part of the mill’s lifetime warranty. The GrainMaker has sealed bearings for smooth, maintenance-free operation, an adjustable ‘click and lock’ control knob for coarse to fine grinding, and an extended handle for better leverage. Every GrainMaker mill includes both the GrainBreaker auger and the coil auger.
  Turning the mill by hand, it takes about 4 min. to hand grind a 4-cup hopper full of wheat. New in 2010, a bicycle conversion kit is available to power your mill with a standard 26-in. bicycle, or order a custom Bodine electric motor that slides directly on the shaft without bulky guards, pulleys or belts.
  Owners Randy and Bonnie Jones’ desire is to provide heirloom quality mills. This is reflected in their commitment to working directly with their customers and providing a full lifetime warranty and a 30-day satisfaction guarantee.
