Now that...is ugly. I congratulate you, sir.
What is the best method for cleaning this beast up and removing the rust while keeping things "Food Grade"?
Thanks everyone...
+1Maybe running a bag of feed corn through it would "polish" up the plates.
It also means that I might be getting my daily dose of wolframite and molybdenum while those who own Tommy Vic's are getting a daily dose of Chinese lead and cadmium.

eh!? speaking Latin!...run some corn grind away... and enjoy! I'm sure my mexican cronona has some bad voodoo radioactive cheap-ass alloy. but I've dialed it in.... made some damn good efficient beer. Grind away grasshopper ,grind away!
I'm guessing your older mill is higher quality casting with much tighter tolerances than our chinese/mexican versions.
My mom has an old meat grinder that adjusts to fine, med, course. I'm thinking this isn't going to do the job, or is it?
There ya go...you must be a belt and suspenders kinda guy...ya got the mill clamped and screwed down...earthquakes up north?
I use a Schmidling Maltmill.
Gesundheit!!!
I got my Victoria mill for Christmas and have it mounted (pics to come, I promise!) but am struggling with getting the plates lined up. I replaced the pin w/ a bolt but it is still a little crooked so the plates rub on one side, keep turning, no rubbing, etc. I have not tested the crush yet (long drive to LHBS) and am not going to get too carried away trying to get this thing perfect until I see if there is even an issue where it counts.
I just picked one up this week from discount tommy...but I don't have my ugly rig setup yet.
I've spent quite a bit of time getting through this thread today...probably too much.
I can't figure out though why everyone is putting spacers in between the bracket and the body of the mill. Mine seems to have more than enough adjustment with the bracket flush to the body...what gives?
