Pasta Machine Grain Mill

[Jabin]

Gentlemen,

i do not often post, but have found something that might interest a few people. Basically this guy has modified a pasta machine to convert it to a grain mill by texturing the rollers with a drill, the link is below

if you look through the thread there are some videos of it in operation.

I spotted some pasta machines at big w this morning, for around 25 bucks.

Anyway, i have a spare one around the house that's busted (the fettuccine cutters kept misaligning themselves), but the sheet rollers were fine, so guess what's happening to it this afternoon....

speaking of which, Harris Scarfe has a very decent one on special this week for $30, down from $50

nice - essentially a marga once the rollers are roughed up.

Maybe not the "best" mill in the world - but if you have a pasta machine you got as an unwanted wedding present or something... looks like it'd be worth a shot.

Except that a marga grain mill is three rollers and a pasta mill two
