If you can't tell from the pic, that stand has two nicely knurled and fairly large aluminum rollers.

If any of you scratchbuilders are looking for a good option for knurled rollers this is a possible solution. I don't know if the rest of the frame would have any use in the build...perhaps you could move the rollers closer together on the existing frame.

But I thought I'd share the discovery.

If any of you end up trying this, start a thread and let us know...

Thanks for the post.

Wet milling should work with the aluminum rollers.
I am not so sure they rollers will last with regular dry milling.

I had the same thought previously and we discussed it here https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f51/homemade-mill-diyers-116909/
