You'll need to run your mill for a looong time to get pyro-grade flake from chips ─ the thinnest alufoil when torn to small pieces, can be milled to give fine powder if lead media is used.
And running a mill with the jar open is not a good idea . . .

I miss new posts by all of them Magpie, and especially those by entropy51 and Sauron.
Their intelligence, pragatism and wit was/is life-affirming!

perhaps but with United nuclear out of stock for some time and quite a few others now gone finding that lead( and other types of) media maybe difficult..

─ Hyfalcon, your mill looks good and the jar looks well-used; you will though, need rubber or tape on the driver to provide a good grip for the jar.

The black you see on the jar is rubber based paint.
