Meet The GrainMaker Family
Every GrainMaker® mill is proudly manufactured by Bitterroot Tool & Machine in their western Montana machine shop. Their family of mills easily handles many types of grains, seeds and legumes, from tiny flax seeds to kernels of corn and coffee beans.
  GrainMaker® mills are distinctly handcrafted of welded and machined steel and metal construction, instead of cast. Every part of the mill, including the body, handle, hopper, two augers both made from stainless steel and high-quality alloy grinding burrs are made on-site, living up to the “100% Made in America” standard. In addition, the exclusive grinding burrs are owner Randy Jones’ unique design, and are individually machined using a process that enables GrainMaker® to include them as part of each mill’s lifetime guarantee. GrainMaker® mills also contain sealed bearings for smooth, maintenance-free operation, and, the larger mills feature an exclusive adjustable ‘click and lock’ control knob that allows the user to choose and easily adjust for coarse to fine grinding. The extended handle allows for better leverage, while the hardened steel burrs clean up easily. GrainMaker’s® smooth, powder-coated red finish makes a handsome impression as it also permits trouble-free clean-up.
  Four models are available permitting a variety of applications. The smallest mill, No. 35, utilizes a 3-cup hopper and 3-inch burrs, and is suitable for small, simple tasks such as grinding grains, coffee beans and herbs. The model No. 99 contains a 6-cup hopper, 5-inch burrs and a 12-inch flywheel, perfect for grinding or cracking modest batches of grains; while the largest of the group, model No. 116, is suitable for somewhat larger output, with 6-inch burrs and a 14-inch flywheel. The latest addition to the family of mills is the No. 275 Flaker mill, which rolls and crushes grains using 23/4-inch diameter rollers made of stainless steel. The Flaker mill is a fitting addition to any home brewing or small-scale feed operation.
  For more rapid production, a custom-built geared electric motor is available that slides directly onto the shaft without bulky guards, pulleys, or belts; a do-it-yourself motorizing kit is also available that lets you use your own electric motor. For the more adventurous types, a bicycle kit can be purchased, which allows you to drive a mill with any standard geared bicycle.
  Owners Randy and Bonnie Jones’ desire to provide heirloom-quality mills and a distinguished all-American made product is reflected in their commitment to continuous improvement and superior customer service. Working directly with their customers, and providing a 30-day satisfaction guarantee also complement the GrainMakers’® high-quality construction and lifetime guarantee.
