I purchased a two roller grain mill from China via Ali Express.
It arrives most assembled and you only have to assemble the hopper as that comes flat pack.
The rollers are stainless steel and the rest of it is made from aluminium.
The gap is adjustable. A set of feeler gauges may be useful here.
The rollers have some aggressive knurling on them.
I have used it to crush a batch of grain and the with a beefy drill on low speed it makes short work of the grain.
I did notice that more heavily modified grain is much harder for the mill and drill to handle at low speeds. This was easily worked around by mixing it with some of the base malt, i.e., it can handle the mixture just fine.
I did cut out a rectangle and drill two holes in a piece of wood of a size that nicely covers the top of the bucket:
