A reliable grinder for oily seeds?

On my recent travels I was introduced to the natural laxative effect of "Hemp Hearts" when added as an ingredient of bread making. It seems that the husk/shells of these seeds in this form are removed by a specially designed and setup machine, the processing of which makes them quite an expensive item.



Back home I've been grinding up plain old Hemp seeds, husk and all with a coffee grinder. Being so oily and tending to clog the grinder blades, I think I'll be getting through a lot of electric coffee grinders if I carry on along this path.



Consequently my searches led me to the "WonderMill" a rare and expensive bit of kit in the UK

non of the reviews related directly to Hemp seeds, there were complaints of poor performance when it came to oily nuts, which didn't bode well.



Any advice on how to grind these seeds up economically and effectively?


Either place them in a blender or food processor? Or look for a "poppy seed mill"? Poppy seeds are very oily, though smaller than hemp seeds...

maybe just use a pestle and mortar?
