Grain mill stopped working

[BobBailey]

I’ve got a Barley Crusher grain mill. It’s worked like a champ for 4 years. Recently moved to BIAB so I adjusted the gap to credit card width, very fine crush. Since then, it’s been nothing but problems.
It’s a 2 roller mill, so the one roller moved by my electric drill spins fruitlessly while the other roller just stays immobile, refusing to move. I’ve tried everything. Disassembled the entire rig, cleaned and oiled it, put it all back together, nothing. Obviously the small gap is what’s causing the problem. Any advice? I’m looking into 3 roller mills, and they are pricey...

Reverse the drive roller end to end. fun your drill in reverse. There's some wear on the rollers. Another alternative is to double mill.

The kegco mills also use ball bearings and harder rollers than the BC. In case I didnt mention it earlier, the 2 roller kegco, keg king maltmunchier and cereal killer are the very same mill just rebranded. The 3 roller version also has the ball bearing which like max stout mentioned is a superior design.
