Great corn grinder
Excellent corn grinder and heavy duty construction. Does not use ball or needle bearings, is metal to metal shaft through case. I set it at a wide setting and turned deer corn into coarse cracked corn for my wild bird mix. Set it to the tightest (fine grind) setting and after three times through the grinder made cornmeal. This is not a flour grinder, so set your expectations accordingly. As mentioned in another review the metal base does not sit flat on the counter top. Can put shims under ears and is solid as a rock. Will probably take an angle grinder and flatten it out – not a deal breaker.

Not for Meat
Great for grinding hard stuff: nuts, egg shells, corn. A bit difficult to figure out how to adjust it.

High Quality built grinder
Grinds cracked well for the birds, so there’s no large kernels left over

It worked for tamales
I used this to grind whole corn for masa for tamales. It worked well. Also used it to grind corn for polenta. Itâs good but just a little difficult to adjust. But if you pay attention, it works well.

Exceeded expectations
I wasnât sure how well this product would handle cracked corn but it exceeded my expectations. Very solidly built. The instructions for assembly were a little rough but not so bad you canât figure it out. It turned wet cracked corn into a nice coarse meal with just one pass through. I wanted it coarse so I didnât run it twice but Iâd bet it would be a fine grain meal after two passes.

Warped grinding wheel
I sadly will be returning this product as appears to be defective. When trying this out I couldn’t seem to get the wheel tight enough for anything. I was trying to crush wheat berries and most of them were going through without even getting dented. After a while I finally realized that only one portion of the wheel was actually crushing the grain at all. If you look closely while turning, you’ll see that it goes from looking nice and tight, to having a somewhat substantial gap, meaning that the grinding plate isn’t quite flat.
