Galen Lehman, Proprietor, says, "The Diamant is one of first products that comes to mind when I think of old world quality. It's MASSIVE. That means two important things. First, it makes grinding grain so much easier. Once the flywheel gets rolling, it practically turns itself! Second, it's a great disaster preparedness mill, because the way it's built means it will survive a direct hit from a thermonuclear missile.

"OK, so I exaggerated a bit on both counts. But, two things are true (no exaggeration). It turns easier and is built stronger than any other grain mill I know of."

For a Simpler Life! Galen Lehman

Unique Pre-Grinding System for Superior Results- Only the Diamant has it! Several blunt pre-grinding "teeth" gently crack grain. When it gets to the auger it's perfectly prepared for a smoother, more even grind. Competitor models use an impractical spring arrangement that's not nearly as effective and completely lacks the elegant engineering of the Diamant.

Grinds fast and fine - Extra large burrs churn out flour as fine as store-bought 20 percent faster and much more easily than any other hand-turned mill on the market.

Grinds virtually anything - Corn, beans and most oily materials can be ground without using a special auger. Grinds all grains, many spices, legumes, beans, nuts (except peanuts) and seeds without changing burrs! Make flour, meal, coffee, sesame tahini, cereal or animal feed. Specially engineered iron/steel burrs can grind just as fine as other mills' stone burrs and eliminates stone grit in your flour.

Easy to use:

• Big V-belt flywheel is made of solid cast iron, not aluminum. Adds momentum to the turning action, rotates smoothly and makes it easy to motorize.
• Adjusts quickly and easily from powder-fine to coarse.
• Long wooden handle lets you use two hands for more leverage. Or share the work with a friend (face each other). Grinding is much easier - and more fun - with two people!
• Bushing/sealed bearings eliminate maintenance - never need to be oiled!

Built to last - This mill hearkens to an earlier time when things were built to outlast their owner and be passed on to the next generation. Solid cast iron mill is one of the heaviest hand mills in the world. Non-toxic green finish with gold trim, force-feeding worm auger pre-cracks grains, one-year warranty.

Note: After grinding oily or fatty foods, it may be necessary to demount the mill and clean the mill casing, cover and grinding plates. The mill comes with instructions on how to do this. If you are storing the grinding plates for several months in a humid environment, it's a good idea to coat them lightly with vegetable oil to prevent rust. With normal use, the grinding plates should last for many years.
