Does it grind ear corn only or what?

The name describes it pretty well. Material is broken down by a bunch of whirling flails or hammers. Anything the gets into the chamber will be hammered until its small enough to come out the screen.

A hammermill could grind any kind of grain. I don't remember if it had inter changeable screen or how it was set for different grains. I remember grinding corn and oats in one on our farm.

they got screens in them . they are removeable to change size of holes . the bigger the hole the coarser the grind. You could put any kind of grain through it,including ear corn, and even mix in a little hay at the same time.

You guys are right, and yes the screens are changable with different size holes.You can buy one fine enough to grind corn meal if you want. Yes they will grind up most anything that goes in, hands, arms,hay,corn, my wrist watch once etc. This is one of the more dangerous machines used by farmers (they all are dangerous) I use mine 1x weekly to grind 1 ton of cattle feed. Yes I burned that batch of corn with the pulverized watch in it.

Hay is really slow going, as well.

The 'screen' in them is a metal plate fairly thick (average 3/16"?) with many holes drilled in it. The holes vary from 1/4" to an 1.5" - with bigger & smaller extremes available too.

The hammermill looks a little like a section of flail mower or corn stalk shredder, if you have seen those.

Speaking of hammermills, I'm still digging out the Fairbanks-Morse machine I found a few weeks ago. There's only one screen with it. Anybody know of a place to get hammermill screens?
