There was a time when time wasn’t such a bother.
When right and wrong were distinguishable. When we
did things the right way not because it was trendy or
artisanal or in vogue. But because it was the right way.
We needed no reason other than that. It was the right
way. And the right way made food taste better. Made
machines run smoother. Made buildings stand stronger.
Made clothing more durable. And made people more
accountable. The right way.
It took a little more time perhaps. It took more effort.
It might have even demanded a bit of backbone. But it
was the right way, and so it was right.
Then the world decided to cut corners. To make it
faster. To make it cheaper. To sacrice quality and
character and virtue for speed. For efciency. For a
price. Suddenly, a loaf of bread could last a month
while a car couldn’t. Suddenly, marriages lasted a
year while grudges persisted forever. Pens, razors,
relationships, everything became disposable.
Nothing lasted anymore. And to us, that was
not the right way. And never would be.
So we started GrainMaker. It was our way of saying,
enough. Our way of declaring war on corner cutters
and efciency experts and all those consultants who
brought us faster, cheaper, tasteless products. It was
our little contribution to stopping the madness. But
more than that. It was the right way to do it.
It was the right way to build a machine. To make bread.
To craft foods in a way that was better for our hearts.
And better for our souls. It was our way of getting
back in touch with the earth. Of getting the most out
of what we’ve been given. Of realizing that fulllment
is a greater virtue than fast. Of understanding that life
goes by so quickly that it makes more sense to slow
things down than to rush them along. That’s the right way.
And we make GrainMaker in the right place. In America.
But not just in America. In Montana. That part of
America that has no use for anything dainty or darling
or fragile. In Montana. Where strength of character
meets strength of purpose, and where’s there’s
precious little time for anything too precious. And
that’s why we do what we do the way we do it. And
when you do things the right way, you don’t look to
change. You look to change those who don’t.
GRAINMAKER. WE’LL NEVER CHANGE.

The GrainMaker®Roller/Flaker/Crusher Mill comes
partially assembled. You will need to attach the handle
to the pulley with the supplied hex wrenches. This
completes the assembly. Before operating this mill,
you will need to secure it to your work surface either
by bolting or using the clamp.
Protect yourself and your Mill! Get in the habit of using
the hopper guard every time you mill. Grain should be
the only item ever placed in the mill.
introduction
Bin or Chute
The mill comes with a ten-cup capacity stainless steel
bin. When larger quantities are being produced, you
can mount the mill on the edge of a work surface, and
use the stainless steel chute. To use the chute, remove
the ten cup bin, then slide in the chute and hook it
onto the bolts located on the inside of the frame.
Milled grain can now ow easily down the chute into
a pail or bag.
Adjusting the Thickness
The mill is equipped with dual drive gears and a
unique pull and twist self locking knob. The knob is
spring loaded with ve positions or ake thicknesses.
With “1” being the thinnest or “5” being the thickest
ake. This simply adjusts the width between the rollers.
To change the gap between the rollers, simply grasp
the knob and pull it out away from the body of the mill
until you can turn it to one of the other settings. Once
you have chosen a thickness, close the slide at the
bottom of the hopper. Ensure the hopper guard
is in the —hopper, ll with the grain of your choice
and begin rolling, making sure you are turning the
handle clockwise.
Using the Roller/Flaker/Crusher
Open the hopper feed slide until grain falls down into
the rollers. Roll a small amount to see if it is the desired
thickness. If the nished product is too thin, simply
move to the next larger number, if it is too thick, close
the hopper feed slide and run the rest of the material
thru that has already fallen into the rollers, then adjust
the dial to the next smaller number. Repeat until you
have your desired thickness. When using this mill
with the settings between 1-3, it may be necessary
to motorize the mill.
HINT: most grains roll better if they are moistened
a little. The night before you plan to mill, add one
tablespoon of water to a quart of oat groats. Cover
and let rest at least a few hours or overnight and
they will roll atter and thinner.
set-up

Your roller/ aker/crusher mill is capable of being
motorized. You MUST bolt the mill to a solid
surface when motorizing, do NOT attempt to
clamp in in place. Should you decide to do this
using the DIY Kit purchased from GrainMaker®,
please follow the directions supplied with the kit.
It is imperative that proper guarding be in place
at all times. It is understood that it is the
responsibility of the purchaser to provide and
attach all necessary guarding. It is always
important to follow all safety guidelines.
CAUTION If you use a motor on this mill, you
MUST remove the extension han-dle. Obey
all local and federal electrical codes.
Close the hopper feed slide if there is grain in it.
Locate the two black thumbscrews while holding
the hopper. Unscrew the two thumbscrews, then
lift the hopper assembly from the body of the
mill. Again, make sure that all hair, loose clothing,
 ngers etc. are kept out of the rollers. Place the
hopper on a clean,  at surface. You can then
use a brush, or even a wire brush if need be to
clean the rollers. The rollers are steel; you will not
damage them. Except when cleaning, only grain
should come in contact with the rollers. When
 nished cleaning, set the hopper back on the
mill and tighten the screws .
CAUTION: IF YOU HAVE A MOTOR CONNECTED
TO YOUR MILL, YOU MUST UNPLUG THE CORD
BEFORE YOU CLEAN YOUR MILL. IT IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY THAT ALL HAIR,
FINGERS, LOOSE CLOTHING ETC. BE KEPT AWAY
FROM THE ROLLERS ONCE THE HOPPER IS
REMOVED. THESE ROLLERS WILL BE EXPOSED
DURING THE CLEANING PRO-CESS. NEVER
LEAVE THE MILL UNATTENDED DURING THE
CLEANING PROCESS.

DIY MOTORIZING KIT Designed for consumers with basic knowledge of mechanics and carpentry.
It allows you to convert your own 1725 RPM motor to a safe grinding speed of under 100 RPMs.
150 inch pounds of torque minimum. Can be used with Model No. 275.
CUSTOM MOUNTING CLAMP Custom machined heavy-duty clamp made only for the GrainMaker®
Model No. 275. Clamp needs 1” clearance with a thickness of up to 3”. This clamp is not ideal for
those with rounded or waterfall edge counters. The grip force will not be strong enough to secure
the mill to the counter safely while grinding.
EXTENDED WOOD GRIP This grip is designed for customers that choose to use two hands while turning
the hand crank on the  ywheel. It is 10.5” wide compared to the 5” grip that come standard with all
of our mills.

GrainMaker mills and accessories are not toys.
Adult supervision is required. The GrainMaker
must be bolted or clamped securely to a work
surface before using, and the hopper safety
guard must be in place.
NOTE: Our shiny red mills and nely crafted
accessories are practically irresistible to children.
Get in the habit of leaving the handle in the
upright position, so children aren’t tempted
to reach for it, and please, supervise children
around the mill at all times.
Consumer assumes all risk and responsibility
when operating a GrainMaker mill by hand,
bicycle or electric power.
As the designer and manufacturer, we reserve
the right to make changes that improve our
