Edge mill

An edge mill or a chilian mill is a mill used for crushing or grinding in which stones roll around on their edges, on a level circular bed. It is used for milling ore and as an oil mill.[1] Horse or oxen-driven versions were used in pre-industrial revolution America as tan bark mills to shred tree bark to derive tannins for the leather industry.[2]
