Grain mill help

Above is the mill that I have. I have tried using it 2 times. It didn't even come close to making a flour-like texture. It seemed like the grinding stone was grinding into the finsihed product. Dh assembled it for me because I just couldn't figure it out. I'd really like to use this. It was purchased from Lehman's over a year ago & the brand is "Porkert". Anyone have this & can help? TIA

Nobody has this mill?

I don't have that one, but I do have one similar and it takes SEVERAL times through to get good flour. needless to say, I don't. we have a borrowed Whisper Mill presently but hope to get a GOOD quality hand/electric some day (such as Country Living). The other one we use for cracking grains (cereal) and rolling them. (it's a Marga Mulino from Lehmans)

Thanks for the reply! I was afraid of that!!! But the description made it sound like it is the only one in it's price class that will grind very fine! I'm discouraged!

yea, we were hoping ours would give flour too, and it does.. when you put it through 10 times! ack! you should see our biceps!

I have the nutrimill and it produces VERY fine flour, like almost finer then buying it. But it does not do cracked/cereal grains! I have an attachment for my kitchenaide mixer that does very coarse cereal grain but OMG it just can't be good for your ears. I almost cried when I turned it on
