From a good supplier, this mill is worth every cent. I needed a simple mill for homebrewing (and didn't want to spend the ballpark $200 required for a good roller mill) and came across this, with many reviews describing it as wonderful for that purpose. However, I also noted many reviews complaining of poor quality, excess packing grease, etc (things that would surely have shown up in the five-star reviews). Then I noticed that some of the five-star reviews mentioned that they'd gotten theirs from Discount Tommy. So, I waited until Discount Tommy had them in stock, bought from them, and all's been great. Now, I have no idea what other suppliers are good/bad. Discount Tommy probably isn't the only good one, but judging by reviews there are definitely some bad ones; going with the one known good supplier seemed safest.
Regarding the product I received:
I washed it with soap and water, dried it, and assembled it. Everything fit fine, though there are of course rougher areas (though the surface finish is fine everywhere) due to the fact that the mill was cast rather than machined. The hopper holds perhaps a pound of brewing malt (something I intend to upgrade). The base can screw directly onto a surface or be clamped onto anything ~2" thick or less. Other reviewers had noted that the mill could be driven by a drill; it was initially unclear how they'd done so, but my solution was to use a Dremel tool to open the eye of an eyebolt, put the threaded part of the eyebolt into my drill's chuck, and then hook my eyebolt to the eyebolt on the mill (important, probably obvious note--the mill handle was not installed for this).
Even operating at I'm sure much greater speed than the manufacturer intended, the mill chews through grains. I use a piece of aluminum foil, formed over the upper section of the milling plates, to keep grain from being thrown everywhere. I first used mine clamped to a tabletop, but found that milling a 5 gallon batch's worth of grains to be difficult since I had to keep emptying the relatively small bowl that could fit under the milling plates. So the second time around, I affixed a 2x2 to my table that juts out beyond the surface, allowing me to use a makeshift chute to funnel the milled grains into my full-size collection vessel.

Pros:
+ durable construction
+ perfect for cracking grains or nuts, making scratch grain, grinding coffee, or a very very rough corn meal for muffins
+ is rather quick, thanks to the large grinding plate
+ can be modified to work with drills
+ comfortable handle (this is important since its a manual grinder)
+ securely mounts to the counter or table top. This is very important since you will be applying swinging that handle round and round.
Cons:
- the biggest con is that it cannot make flour
- This needs some sort of sheild around the grinding plate to keep grinding material directed down toward your container. This thing sends out ground items all over the place if you grind to quickly.
- has a lot of different screws to adjust to change your grinding pressure. Not very user friendly.
- most parts are cast and thus dont fit together perfectly, but hey, its a budget grinder.
-its rough an
In summary, if you are looking for a budget grinder to do coase grinds, this is the item for you. If you want an item that looks nice, and grinds flour, this is not the item for you.
