"A hammermill is just a shredding device. There are different devices for different things, but pretty much any shredding device is considered a hammermill."

The interesting thing is that a hammermill can be used to shred Hammermill paper products.

Big hammers (not the kind you pound nails with) spin out with centrifugal force and beat whatever it is you are grinding into smaller pieces.

A hammermill is simply a machine that is used to crush or shred material into smaller pieces. It can be used in ethanol production, milling grain, paper shredding, and crushing rocks.

Where can you get plans to build a hammer mill for milling grain?

I have the same question. I've been looking for a small hammer mill for making mesquite bean flour. The only hammer mill that I've found for home/small farm use is the Novital, made in Italy, sold in Australia for $570 delivered. On the internet you can find Amy Smith's screenless hammer mill but I have yet to see a plan clear enough to make one myself; emails to Smith have not been responded to. I think her plan was a thesis at MIT so it might be possible through interlibrary loan to get the thesis. Also, on Ebay there is an offering of 25 patents for various kinds of mills--I've just sent for the package so can't say where it includes a plan for a small hammer mill. If you run across any good plans, let me know. Good luck.
