I bought this adjustable Automatic brand mill about 12yrs ago. Just used it for the first time today to crush some Crystal 70 and 120. As far as I tell Automatic no longer makes homebrew grain mills.

Does the output look OK?

I used feeler gauges to measure the roller gap at the various settings and verify parallelism/roundness. The smallest gaps at the two lowest settings were .037" and .045". I used 0.045" for the sample. The small gap settings were not aligned with the icons on the sticker - those gaps were way big. This unit has discrete "indexed" click adjustments on both ends of one roller.

Looks great to me. When in doubt you can always run it through again. You can grind it as fine as you want as long as you throw some rice hulls in there.
