I need to find a sort of small mangle (compressed hardened rollers)
to "de-husk" raw oats a little at a time. Any ideas?


No cereals, pulses or dried beans , so tried some dried cloves which is
probably more of a test. 5 crushed cloves and 5 whole for comparison.
Required stepped repeated crushing , at setting 9,6,3 and then 1 but oats
would probably go through in one.

Over engineered for damp pasta.

Hmm, I assume that you installed the flat rollers in that pasta mill
and if so, that is promising. There was a similar pasta mill at one of our
local Goodwill stores (second-hand donated stuff) but it only had a helical
ridged roller set and the gap was not adjustable and was too wide for the
oats to be crushed (rolled, as they say).

What did your pasta machine cost you and did you purchase it locally or
online?
