I think a Griss mill is also called a Burr mill. A Burr mill has Plates,or burr's. The grain is zig-zagged through the plates.One plate stands still,and the other one turns.
Hammer Mills have hammers,these hammers have step-cuts and sharp cutting edges which reduce the material(grain) speedily
a Hammer mill also has a screen,these screens can be changed. A hammer mill also has a fan. Now the grinding is done by the hammers striking and cutting the material in mid-air, throwing it against the screen and back against the hammers until it is broken down enough for the fan suction to pull it through the scren.

here are a few more things about Grist mills. there are two main types, one has stones made usually from granite or some real old ones were cut from limestone and the other type has steel burrs. The stone burrs keep the grain cooler when grinding than the steel burrs. Cooler ground meal tastes better, and has not had some of the enzimes destroyed from the heat.They all work good but I think the hammermill takes less power to operate and makes lots more meal than the slow turning Grist mill.I never ran a hammer mill but I did have a stone type grist mill I ran for a few years. It had 24" in diameter stones and was VERY heavy. One thing of caution for some guys who have old mills. Some of the stones on the rotors are set on the shaft with lead.If the stones are worn down you can get lead in your meal. Be sure to check them out real good! Especially if you are going to sell or eat the meal or flour.Luckily mine was in good shape.
