Is the mesh fine enough for using with cracked corn?

Yes but the mesh and links are so flimsy that a larger bird would just tip the basket. Not a good product.

I love this product. I have it outside my office window. The birds love the mealworms I use it for & I have never seen anything close to tipping. I have a bluebird on it now & it stays just as level as when 5 or 6 crowd on. Cracked corn will do just fine, when the bluebirds leave I may switch to the same thing for the winter. You will like it, it's good.

The mesh is pretty fine - I use mealworms in it. Not sure what the consistency is of cracked corn but I would say it's probably doable. I think I could put oatmeal in it with no problem if that's a similar size. I also think it's not at all flimsy and seems like a well balanced tray when hanging

Yes; the mesh is quite fine, a bit larger than window-screening. Cracked corn and even small seeds will stay in this feeder. The mesh on my feeder is strong and not flimsy at all. Lots of times six or seven little birds will be crowded into it at once! I suppose a very large bird could tip the feeder, but my mourning doves and red-winged blackbirds use it without tipping it.

Works fine for barley and corn for brewing. Not designed for making flour, cannot gring grains only crush.

I think walnut shells work best, but corn cob will work, just not as good. Hope that answers your question. Using a chemical cleaner makes them both work better,

Yes. I used it after hurricane sandy to break down branches from maple trees. I could go through 2-3 inch maple branches with 1-2 swings. Should handle corn stalks easily.

I don't see much cracked corn in bag. It is predominately seed. Our birds eat it all.

I just tested the strainer. The mesh is very fine and I did not see any Amaranth grains fall through.

It is very fine mesh and would probably work well... I use it for all kinds of things from straining tea to cleaningberries etc... very pleased with it...

I used it for a bulls eye chip and it worked well. I don't know if it will fix a crack but think it probably will not. I would try it as an experiment before getting a new winshield.

The mesh is like a window screen. Since I am not familiar with quinoa you must be the judge.

no no no. this is an "extract" for baking.... and flavoring. it has water in it that will be incompatible with the oils used for popping the corn.

It may work better on cracked corn than wheat, it doesn't fit together tight enough for Wheat. I was disappointed in the hopper myself. I gave or away.

i have ground pop corn with this machine a number of times with no problems. i don't know the moisture content of pop corn but i believe it's low.

It has a adjustment for corseness and I have read it is good for cracked wheat but have not tried it with wheat but I use it with whole grain rice and it works great.

Yes, it will do the job. That's what I used it for. It works OK on everything but dried corn. If you are planning on baking often, though, it can be tedious.

I don't think so. In fact, I was able to break one of the blade assemblies by forcing a regular potato through it. The manufacturer replaced it under warranty, but cautioned me that it would be advisable to square off the end of the potato to equalize the pressure the blades see. That seems to have worked.

You just set it anywhere from fine to coarse. Cracked would probably be fairly coarse.
