Lehman's Grain Mill

No, this mill is specifically designed for dry grains and small beans. Grinding oily items like nuts or sunflower seeds will clog the stainless steel burrs and potentially damage the mechanism.

Yes, the base comes with pre-drilled holes, and it is highly recommended to bolt it down to a sturdy table or countertop. Because the flywheel requires significant force to operate, a secure mount is essential for safety and consistent grinding.

The flywheel design is specifically engineered to provide momentum, which makes the grinding process smoother and less physically demanding than smaller hand-crank models. However, it still requires consistent physical effort to process large batches.

The mill is compatible with a standard motor setup, but you will need to source a motor, belt, and pulley system separately. We recommend consulting with a professional or following specific DIY guides for grain mill motorization to ensure the correct torque and speed settings.

The stainless steel burrs are capable of producing a fine pastry flour in a single pass. You can adjust the texture settings to move between coarse cracked grains and a fine powder suitable for baking.

Yes, the electrolytically polished stainless steel burrs are designed to be sanitary and resist corrosion. While you should avoid getting the internal mechanism wet, the exterior steel body can be wiped down easily, and the burrs can be brushed clean after use.
