I'm still looking for a mill that will grind corn - cornmeal.

Trixie. Go to eBay. You will find lots of mill grinders there. I bought one for $9 (as I recall) plus shipping. It was new. Someone was apparently selling a pallet load of them.

Forgot to mention mine is a hand crank. I experimented and to grind down corn I started at a wider opening to apparently cornmeal, then reground the cornmeal to powder.

We use our wondermill to make corn flour. A little too fine for corn meal but it does work.
Biggest problem is that the corn kernels will bridge inside the hopper tube and not reach the grinder.

Does it have a manual mode? for when the grid goes away?

Not with this one, generator would be required. They do sell a wondermill junior that I believe is a hand crank model.
thanks

That means it's a boat anchor if the power goes out... about the only time I'd need to use one.

What brand was this?
Just how hard to crank, and how long does it take to grind - say a couple of pounds? Not that we are lazy, just old -
We looked at two kinds in Utah, the Wondermill and Nutrimill, I think, and saw both demonstrated. They both looked good, but we were told they were not good for cornmeal.

I plan on using mine every time I make bread from this point forward.Not just a survivalist toy but a good baking toy for the 'bestest' and freshest and most nutritious flours.
Im not worried about the grid going down,i have 3 separate solar systems up and running.With mechanical electric generation of diesel and gas back ups on those.I dont EVER plan on doing without electricity,I take that as a God Given right nowadays with todays options.
And yes Virginia,you can do that do too,its not Rocket Science (more like 8th grade science project level) to set up these small electrical systems.Nor cost prohibitive if you are lower middle class or better.
They do make a very fine cornmeal,Bud says he likes it for his cornbread and polenta actually,FWIW.

I have a bad shoulder on right,tendinitis on left arm.Much more likely to get grain here with electricity vrs Booboo-icity.
Santa (UPS) delivered ours yesterday,about as exciting as getting the All American canner delivered. OK,so the BooBoo's need to get lives......
