Corn is a grain much like wheat or rice and you can make flour out of it (called corn meal) too. HOWEVER corn has a very hard kernel and if you were to put the whole grain into a grind-stone it would wear grooves into it. (Not a good thing to happen to a grind-stone). So before you can mill corn you have to crack the kernels open. This is done by another grind-stone, one that is not so expensive as the real one, not expected to do such a fine job, doesn't have to be perfectly smooth, if you know what I mean. I've seen people do this by hand using a grooved tray and a rolling pin type grind-stone.

Cracking and grinding can be done with the same stone, it is a matter of raising or lower the top stone to make the gap the corn in ground in narrower or wider, making the corn fine or coarse.

Can corn starch be used to cut crack during the cooking process while the cocaie is in the gel form?

No, corn starch is not used to cut crack cocaine during the cooking process. Cutting agents are typically substances that dilute or increase the volume of a drug, but corn starch does not possess the necessary properties to effectively alter the potency or consistency of crack cocaine. Additionally, the cooking process involves converting cocaine into a different form, where the focus is on the chemical transformation rather than the addition of cutting agents.
