Wow, nice! I'd be interested to hear more about how you sourced materials, how you did the machining, final cost, etc. Is is adjustable? Looking forward to seeing the results of the milling.
How are you doing the knurling? I wouldnt mind building my own if I could find shafts.
mrbeerin said:Hi HDBrewer, the mill looks good . I'm in the process of making one myself. Even am not sure how the eccentrics work for adjustments. Can you post a few more pics of the plates with the bushing/bearing.
Thanks!!

HDbrewer said:The two knobs that stick out rotate within the frame. They are locked in place with a set screw to keep them from rotating after you set the gap. Inside those knobs, there is a hole machined in .035 off center with a bushing pressed inside of it for the roller to rotate. I will see if I have any pics of this furring the build.
It is a medium knurl. If I could do it again, I would use a little more course of a knurl
I finished up the hopper last night. I just used some scrap plywood that I had left over from another project. Overall I am very happy with this project.
Just finished up the machining on my DIY grain mill. I just need to get a base and hopper made for it now. Hopefully, I will get some free time this weekend and can finish it up!
