Looks good, bought one...
I can get rid of my countless tubs of 10 year old pop ups now...mixed into spomb mix at a small ratio to try and get some up'n'down happening over the spot.

Will mill down anything, wild bird food, unsoaked tigers, and any stray fingers 👉🏻 👋🏻

How do you find these for getting a consistent fine flour Baitman?

I've been eyeing up a grain/flour mill with the roller grinders over the last year or so, but they are pretty expensive compared to these blade machines. Mainly thinking about producing own birdfood/seed flours fresh.

Very good.

If you want it more coarse its a case of just doing smaller batches and short bursts.

For a birdy you could mill maybe 75% and just blip 25% to retain some coarse texture within the finer flour.

Not sure I'd use a roller mill over a blades if there's any hint of moisture/oil.
Only issue with blades is potential heat build up, easily avoided with pulsing/stop starting etc.

A roller mill is a beast with dry ingredients though and more consistent size wise.
I have a upgraded Crankanstein 3d (or 320..can't rem) belt driven with a 1/3 hp motor from my homebrewing days!

I've got one, and rate it highly, after sieving 2 x 5 kilo bags of different fishmeals, the remaining 'larger bits' get a wizz through again, re-sieved, until none is wasted. great for fining down anything coarse for throwing stick work, to gain a tighter, firmer bait.

Top man, thanks for that - looks the one in that pic.

Yeah, different batches for coarsness grades should work with this.

This looks like just what I need for grinding down my Aller Aqua pellets, that will form the base for next years boilies.
Nice one Dave. 😎

It does pellets with ease.
Only half fill, and the tilt makes it easy to ensure all the corners get a blitz too.
VERY powerful and scary when you first use it, so never turn on with top open, make sure the top is secure, and keep one hand on the handle.
A 2" soft paintbrush is good to dust out the last crumbs.

Mine arrived yesterday afternoon whilst I was sat at lake. Looking forward to throwing some 'stuff' in it when I get home.
Are you sure?
