We just replaced a few parts on it after years of use.
The soybeans split well with a few crushed beans. I had a batch recently where the beans were too varied in size and I could not split them all without crushing a lot of the larger beans so we sat and sorted out the smaller ones.
...and the skins float off the split beans perfectly. Before using the mill we would soak and split by hand and never get them all split nor remove nearly as much of the skin.
The company still produces the same mill as always and has parts sold separately.
I've never had any other type so have nothing to compare 
Good day mate
I too am very tired of hand-splitting my beans and have just heard of the Corona in a video "Brad Builds A Fermentation Chamber & Makes Tempeh "
If you do not mind I would like to ask is this your model? And your opinion on this model as well
