*Bean Auger #23226 is required for larger materials like
corn and beans.
Speed: Time to grind 1 lb. of hard wheat (about
3 C flour) when turned by hand (except electric) with normal effort at
finest setting. Coarse settings are much faster. (Speed
is inverse to fineness.)
What grind: The category "grains" refers
to wheat, rye, spelt, oats, corn, buckwheat, rice, barley, millet, quinoa,
and triticate.
Fineness: Unlike some mills, all grades produced
by ours include usable flour. Grade #1 looks like store-bought flour (100%
powder). Grade #2 is 100% flour, but not as fine. Grade #3 & #4 are
inconsistent. (A large percentage of #3 and #4 grades are as fine as #2.
However, about 20% of grade #3 and 50% of grade #4 needs to be reground.)
Effort: Effort required to produce flour at the
mill's finest setting. (Mills turn much easier at coarser settings.) Young
adults and people of small stature may have difficulty grinding fine flour
with mills rated "meduim", "medium-hard" or "hard".
