I bought a "MaltMuncher 3 grain mill to replace barely crusher that has worn rollers. Assembled it yesterday and went to set gap to mill grain today. Unfortunately, the roller with the drive shaft on it was machined out of round. There is about a .020 inch or .5mm difference in gap as the drive roller spins around in relation to the fixed gap upper idler roller.
Pretty sure that is not normal or acceptable tolerances, and will try to get replacement part before spending any time gapping it, let alone grinding grain.
Not a fan this imported stuff, due to these sorts of quality control issues, but there seems to be no other viable options for mills at this point. I got it from Moorbeer, and they have been good at making things right in the past, so I'll be calling them when they are open.
Just wanted to put this out there since this is from the newest batch (they were out of stock until a couple of weeks ago). You might want to check the rollers were machined on center before you get too far in assembly or trying to gap.
