I am finding that the last few times I have milled wheat, it is taking VERY long to get it done. Also, the little filter thing-y is getting filled up faster. I went to clean everything I could today to see if that made a difference (it didn't) and found a slight silvery mist on the bottom of the "motor" section. I do not know what this means. Has anybody else had problems???

What mill are you using (WonderMill, WhisperMill, NutriMill)? Where are you setting the coarseness/fineness setting (9 o'clock, 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock)?

It is a Nutrimill. The coarseness is set about 10:00 (9:00 is "off" position).
You know, now that you ask that, I think I can see where you are going. (An "aha" moment.) That is something I didn't even think about was to set it for a less fine setting.
Thank you!

I still have the old WhisperMill / WonderMill. The fineness setting dosen't change the flour much at all, but it sure slows down the process. Since the Nutrimill has both the speed and fineness settings, I'd try high speed and more coarse.
We did a comparison as a result of a customer inquiry on the Nutrimill. We ground 3 cups of wheat in both machines. The Wondermill took 58 seconds to grind on the 12 o'clock setting. The Nutrimill took 80 seconds on the 12 o'clock setting and high speed. So, the Nutrimill is a little slower; but it has a larger capacity, smaller countertop "footprint", and more adjustment for fineness when desired.
I'll ask about the "mist" on the bottom of the motor. On brand new mills, it sometimes takes a few uses to seat the brushes on the motor whcih can result in a slight powder.
