Any suggestions?

I bought the Family Grain Mill with the Kitchenaid attachment and am very happy with it.

Keep in mind im just cracking the wheat not making flour. The flour that could be made with these would be too course for baking. I need to get a motorized made in the USA unit and start baking

we have that one, its expensive, but we use it nearly daily. its American made, heavy duty and should last my lifetime. I can hand crank it, run it off the stationary bike or to an electric motor.

Nuts. I just knew there would be some reason the $30 mills would not work.

Two times through might do it. The plates are far from precision machined though. As you get them close enough to grind finely id worrry about them touching and a chinese alloy of unknown composition in your bread.
