monster mill vs crankenstein vs rebel mill

[mikescooling]

1/3hp blower mtr, I wish it was a little bigger like a 1/2hp. pulleys are 12"/1". I don't normally need to mill more than a sack at a time, but if I do, I give it a few minutes to cool down.

I just went through this same decision and ended up getting a Monster Mill MM2 with stainless rollers. I liked the overall package the best. The base and hopper are nice, and the rollers are 6" long. I was also happy with my interactions with Fred @ Monster Mills. Couple all of that with many happy customers on this forum and you can't really go wrong.

I ruled Crankandstein out once I saw the "About us" section of their web page...very unprofessional.

Fred used to be business partners with the guy at C&S and they had a falling out so I can't but think that about section is pointed towards Fred. Still in doing research for a mill for myself, I have also seen unprofessional behavior from Fred and the guy who makes the Barley Crusher too: right here on this forum no less.

Still I like the product Fred is selling and just pulled the trigger on the standard 1.5" mm2. I have an old 3/8" craftsman drill that I would like to tear up before using my big boy 1/2" Dewalt so that was a factor for me. It was hard to resist the urge to go overboard and get one of the 2" options though. Can't wait for it to arrive and try it out.
