I just received a unit on Tuesday and there is a flat on the shaft like you described.
I bought mine about 14 month ago so hacky2447 must have somehow gotten a really old one?

Maybe I got a defective one?
Maybe... missing the nut on the handle assy and no flat machined into the shaft?... I wonder what the odds of that are?
Are you sure it was a "cereal killer" brand mill?
Id start playing the lottery if I were you...
The Cereal Killer mill is made in the USA? I was under the impression it was made in China. Good to know its a US product! I wish it came with a lifetime like the BC.
It is NOT made in the USA... the wooden base is and proudly labeled such to throw people off into assuming the whole thing is.
And since the wooden base is screwed to the mill in the usa it can be considered made in the usa... kind of like the new harleys... final assy here means made in the usa now
As far as my research shows, everything but the wooden base was made and assembled in china.
Thats what I thought... guess i will get a barley crusher then.
wow...I want US made. Looking at the Millars Mill B3 159, plus s&h. SS 7" rollers with bearings, 10 pound hopper, etc... . They say it 100% US made.
Great looks like I was misinformed... I havent pulled mine apart but was told there was bearings pressed in for the main rollers in another review thread were someone did a teardown.No bearings on my cereal killer. Took it apart a couple of weeks ago to clean it.

My 1/2" drill fits.
Ok just heard from Millars Mills about being USA made or not..."ALL THE PARTS ARE 100% MADE IN OUR SHOPS IN USA! EVEN THE SCREWS ARE USA SOURCED!"

Sounds like 100% manufactured in the USA to me. I will spend a few extra bucks and get the B3 from Millars Mills.
hand-milling a batch of grain is something you do exactly once. it's a major pain.Is it pretty tough to hand crank a batch?
i've seen drills for under $20 on amazon, and you can probably find a used one for less on ebay...Not sure I feel like spending another $50 right now just for a drill to use on it.

Excellent. I'll try it out and see how bad it is.
If I try out my drill, is there any tell-tale signs it's running too fast? Can it damage the mill, or will it just not crush well?
Watch for some coupons from Harbor Freight.
They have a variable speed control, that is intended for routers, that people have plugged their "grain mill drills" into, with good results.

Awesome, thanks that's better than spending double that on a drill just for this (unless I mount it).
You said "mount it"........
