http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wonder-Junior-Hand-Grain-Mill-BASIC-MODEL-Brand-New-WonderMill-Jr-/121137658013?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c345df89d

Is what I would look into. This mill has many options such as getting stone surfaces to grind with. To make more of a stone milled flour

Option two cost $30 and allows you to hook up an electric drill to it so it is motorized. This mill is made in USA

You might be able to do a great job with the 169$ model if you sift out the fines and regrind the course bits. I do not own one but would look at it a lot if I did not have my Viatmix.... You might find an old cheap vitamin on craigslist. Maybe even a wondermill

Those old corona type mills are really for coarsely grinding corn in Mexico. I wish I had my old one....they get rusty easily. They might work for bread flour if you are a dedicated sifter

******* a large size common strainer is your friend! To sift out grain to regrind the coarse bits

That’s a great price for the WonderMill Jr.

That’s the mill I’m going to get for my spice business. It can grind just about anything.

I think the Country Living Mill looks prettier - if I were to set a mill out in the kitchen. But since it will be in the basement and I need it to grind a variety of things, some oily, the WonderMill is my choice. It has a power tool attachment and a pulley you can get also, for adapting to a power source. CLM has a motor you can buy for $385, but I think my hubby can figure something out for cheaper for the WonderMill Jr. I imagine the CLM motor will work with the WonderMill Jr, since it is under the max rpm allowed.

For my limited need to grind just grains the last 10 years, I’ve had a Family Grain Mill. LOTS cheaper, has both the motorized and hand-crank options included, and has worked just fine. It was my tester mill, to see just how often I would actually use it. Just like my presto canner was my tester, to see if it’s worth it to buy the All American someday. I’m happy to say both have lasted a decade, I’ve used them often, and can move onto the ‘adult’ version of those items shortly ;)
