As best I can tell from the website, it is the Model number for that grinder. Here is an example; Zassenhaus Beech Wood Coffee Knee Mill Model 156BU. They have been making these since the 1800's. So I would assume that this number is important for repair parts.

Yes it has a bottom. I often forget to take it off and start grinding. I'm not alone, my guests do the same thing. For the record, I use mine for pepper. Also, the light doesn't always work. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Overall though, I am very happy with this grinder. Hope this is of some help to you.

My grinder is in basemant with another things when I missed return time. I did have problem with grinding wheal. After every grinding was too loosen or fell of place.

It's conical. It look like a flat wheel grinder but the teeth are on the edges at a taper, thus making it a form of conical burr. A wheel burr grinder would have the teeth on the flat surfaces between the wheels.

Yup, it strikes me as a rather poor design. It allows the space between the outer and inner burrs to become larger or smaller on one side, changing the size of the grind. It also allows the inner and outer burrs to rub against each other, causing wear. I'm no expert on grinders but this is surely not how I'd design one. Though in practice the grinder works pretty well for fine grinding, which is what I use it for.Here's an optional bushing to improve the grinder's performance for course grinds. It can't be used for fine grinds. http://www.orphanespresso.com/OE-Lower-Bearing-UPGRADE-KIT-for-Hario-Skerton-Kyocera-CM50-Hand-Grinders_p_4066.html Yup, it strikes me as a rather poor design.

Thats about how long ago I got mine and it works fine.At first I didnt think it would work because when I put it togather I couldn't turn it by hand but then attached it to my mixer and it worked fine. It dose a lot better then the ones that come with the grinder. Hppe this helps.

Not sure so I tried and think I got them matched correctly. My application was for a grinding tool, similar to a Dremel, so I wanted it correct. BTW, the included fuse is too low, go to an auto parts store to get a higher amp fuse to match the plug's capabilities. Sorry I don't recall specifics, it's been 10 months since I put this together but it was working well this week even I used the grinder a few times to sharpen chain saw chain. Seeing other answer, my grinder turns correct direction, so I got it correct (now I recall chkg this, forward vs. backward).

I noticed the center grind line near the tip isn't 100% even. It's not a glaring flaw but when you look close it is notable.

The top turns, but unfortunately the grinder is not adjustable. Mine is useless. I've purchased another one to replace it already.

My grinder was returned within five days of purchase form this very reason. I bought a different one!

I have the same problem with mine. The pentagon hole in the crank handle is slightly too big and/or the metal that the pentagon shaft is made out of is too soft. When you turn the crank, it slips forward on the shaft causing the handle to get stuck and slowly stripping the shaft until the grinder is no longer useable. It took about 3 months in my case.

I have owned my grinder since January 2014. I use it twice every day, at least 3 times a day on weekends. I have had no problems.Yours may be defective. Definitely call customer service and give them the opportunity to make it right.

Yes, it is Gen2. Mine came with the grind almost right up to the handle. The old ones had a much larger gap.

No, I don't think it is normal. I've had mine for quite a while and it still gives pretty consistent grinds. In fact, I think it's the best pepper mill I've ever owned -- and I've owned a lot of them.

I looked on a parts site for that model and yes, this is the correct grinder for that model.
