This is the best reference I have found, though it's hard to say what will be correct for the coffee you are using. This is meant to be a general guide that you should adjust based on your personal experience, flavor preferences, coffee age, et cetera. http://www.reddit.com/r/Coffee/comments/1wxcs4/reference_hario_mini_mill_grinder_click_settings/

I do not know of an official grind size guide. There is a range of ideal settings for any brewing method, since light and dark roasts tend to fragment differently. For French press (coarse grind), I have had good results with 9-13 clicks from the finest setting (9=light roast; 13=French roast). For Melitta manual drip pour-over (fine grind), I get good results with 5-8 clicks, depending upon the bean. I used 7 clicks for a medium roasted Ethiopian bean the other day and brewed some of the best coffee I've ever had. Hope this helps.

I have found the link below helpful on the grind setting for each method. I tweak it based on my liking and coffee properties.http://www.thecoffeechaser.com/a-guide-to-grinding-your-beans/

French presses need coarse grinds. My husband likes the largest setting (percolator) I like to use the 2nd largest setting. Try both and see what you prefer more, but anything finer than that probably wouldn't work well.

60 and 120...........I returned the one I purchased because I was not able to true up each of the grinding wheels. The bearings were also extremely loud which leads me top believe they would not last very long. I have purchased 2 Rikon 80-805 Slow Speed Grinders and have not had any issues for over 2 years.

Yes there is a dial on the bottom of each end that you can adjust to as fine or coarse as you want that is why me and my wife enjoy this grinder she likes it fine I like it coarse.

coarser seems to work best. The finer the grind clogs up the screed and the machine gets backed up

The grinding mechanism is steel, the housing is steel with an acrylic window to see the contents. There is not a grind coarseness setting.

I think it is the standard 4" or 4-1/2" cutting wheel. I have boxes of them for my other electric grinders and they fit just fine. If you read PC post it will tell you the size of wheel. You can look it up as well as I can.

This grinder has no coarseness setting. You have to adjust coarseness by how long you grind the beans. This was one of the problems I had with this grinder.

A 1/4" shank should work. A collet closing system has to be close tolerance but you should be able to slide it in without much pressure. The most obvious problem is the wrong size shank or a burr on the end - easy to feel. Next you might not be opening the collet on the die grinder. When you get if from the factory it might be tight and so the shank will not fit. It takes both wrenches to open it. The bottom wrench keeps it from turning the motor and the top one loosens the collet. When it is loose you can turn it easily with your hand, slip in the shank, tighten it by hand, and then use both wrenches to do the final tightening. A 1/4" shank should work.

The Lee Craft selection guide is posted at http://www.leecraftzeroclearance.com. I did not see your model posted but you may be able to reference the length and width.

I get my discs from here: http://www.worlddiamondsource.com/wds1.aspx?Id=Polishing_Pads_for_Hand-Held_GrindersI'd call and speak with a customer service rep, who can direct you to a particular abrasive depending on what materials you are working with. I've been dealing with WDS for years and they have been very knowledgeable and helpful, as well as competitive. Best of luck!

As best I can tell from the website, it is the Model number for that grinder. Here is an example; Zassenhaus Beech Wood Coffee Knee Mill Model 156BU. They have been making these since the 1800's. So I would assume that this number is important for repair parts.

To answer your question, I tried the "coarse" setting (since I never use it). Most of the pieces were coarse but some were more like "medium." Looks like the grind is not even on the "coarse" setting.

There is a round silver screw on the bottom that you turn to adjust the grind. Turn it clockwise for a finer grind, counterclockwise for a coarser grind. This works on my mill. If yours doesn't work there's something wrong with it.

The spindle size is I think metric that's not what is important they have adapters that go over the spindle to accommodate a 1 inch diameter hole in the grinding wheel it's also necessary to have that adapter to space the wheel away from the body of the grinder and centered in the cowling. Don't lose one of the spacers they cost $100 each to replace.

I have a 12 volt sharpner but I don't know the file or grinder bit size for the chain.

LEM sells various size #8 Grind plates. Check the website out. I use 8mm & 6mm in my sausage making.
