I'm very pleased with this mill. I've owned it for about 6 months, and I use it once a week to grind corn for my chickens, pigs and calves. The motor seems well balanced and the bearings are smooth, it runs surprisingly quiet. The stand works, but it's not balanced very well, which is fine because I'm bolting it down to a workbench soon. The mill is easy to adjust for coarse or fine grinding. I haven't used the fine stones for flour yet, but the steel grinding plates have worked great and I get a nice consistent grind on my corn. It easily grinds 100lbs of grain in about half an hour, and the motor stays nice and cool on mine. Obviously it gets dusty. So glad I bought this, saves me a boatload of $$ on feed.*ONE YEAR UPDATE*this mill is awesome. I've used it nearly every day to grind corn for 5 calves, 3 pigs, and 30 chickens. It has been easy to disassemble and reassemble which is great for cleaning and clearing clogs. The only reason it clogs on me is because my corn has alot of straw in it (dirty corn=cheap corn). Today, the corn had a steel nut hidden in it. It completely jammed up and seized the grinder. However, it was super easy to stop, take it apart, clean it, put it back together, and now it's going again. 100% worth the money. I cut a 5" hole in a 5gal bucket to use an an expanded grain hopper so I'm not refilling so often.
