I recently bought this one for €40 and it seems to do a good job once it's been tweaked a little bit: http://www.homebrewwest.ie/grain-mill-1546-p.asp (http://www.homebrewwest.ie/grain-mill-1546-p.asp)

LordEoin, did you hook a drill or motor up to it or anything?

Yes. I fully intended to hand crank it, but after about 10 minutes i attached a drill.
Just remove the handle and replace the fitting with a standard bolt(M8 I think), then use a drill and socket.

Does this mill give quality results or does the twin roller type always come out on top?

The price in HBW is tempting

Twin roller will give a very uniform result and can be fine tuned more.
Corona style take a bit more trial and error to hit the fine line between whole grains and flour.
