The only blender I know of that works well for grinding grain, is the Vitamix, because the 'blades' aren't really blades, but essentially, hard metal blocks, that pulverize the grains, instead of chopping them. An actual edged blade will get destroyed by the hardness of the grains, pretty quickly, and the motor will burn out, in the effort. Typically, blenders are a fairly light duty item, with their most difficult tasks being chopping ice and pureeing fruits & veggies. Grains are a whole different ballgame. A Vitamix can even pulverize soap nuts - which is how I destroyed my last blender (oops!), which was a high powered one, but with sharp - edged blades. I can't recommend doing it.
