The key to getting a finer flour with the Family Grain Mill is running it through for a 2nd pass. This will get a flour fineness that will be suitable for baking bread.

One of the main reasons, aside from preparedness, was the possibility of making my son gluten free oatmeal. The only problem I have discovered with the mill is the stability while grinding corn. It has become a two person operation, with my husband holding the mill steady. The force it takes to grind the corn wiggles the mill right off the counter. We are in the process of trying to modify it to stay put. Other than that, the mill is exactly what I wanted and needed. I think it would be better desingned with clamps on either end, instead of one in the middle, with more heavy duty clamps. I too, just recently purchased the Family Grain Mill, and I LOVE IT!!

Very good, sturdy quality. I think it definitely found it's spot in our family's storage. We recently purchased a hand grinder from a store in Arizona. Very good, sturdy quality.

However, the Family Grain Mill makes an excellent "preparedness" backup if there were to be power outages, and it works wonderfully. The flour stays self-contained and does not fly everywhere as one might expect. There is no mess to clean up. However, it does not mill quite as finely as my electric grinder.

I am interested in the family mill since i have a Bosch. I read that the finest grind on the family mill still isn't as fine as electric mills. Also, it seems to me that the ground flour would pretty much fly every where as it leaves the mill. Are you able to catch the flour without it creating a lot of dust?
