A grinding mill for seeds, nuts, grains and like materials comprising in combination:

• a frame having a base portion and a cover portion,
• said cover portion having a pivotally mounted cover for exposing and concealing the inside of said cover portion,
• motor means comprising a rotating shaft mounted on said base portion of said frame,
• a milling head comprising a pair of relatively movable disc type cutting and grinding members juxtapositioned in coplanar arrangement when in a grinding and milling operation within said cover portion,
• one of said members being mounted on said shaft for rotation therewith and the other of said members being mounted on said cover for pivotal movement therewith from a position juxtapositioned to said one member to a position spaced therefrom for exposing said one member,
• said cover being provided with an aperture extending therethrough for alignment with an aperture extending through said other member into a space between said members,
• a collar surrounding said aperture in said cover,
• a hopper mountable on said cover and having a discharge passage leading into said aperture of said cover, and
• said hopper being detachably mounted on said collar surrounding said aperture in said cover,
• said cover portion comprising a milling chamber housing said milling head and defining an outlet port for discharging the ground and milled products, and
• an adjustment means for axially positioning one of said grinding members relative to the other for controlling the condition of the milled product,
• said adjustment means comprises a cam rotatably mounted on said cover,
• said frame supporting said motor and rotating shaft at an acute angle with a supporting surface of the grinding mill with the longitudinal axis of said outlet port of said milling chamber being substantially perpendicular to the axis of said rotating shaft.
