Each member or disk 7 has a slot 8 through which a polygonal portion 9 of the shaft 6 passes, so that the disks rotate with the shaft but are free to slide in the direction of their slots. The disks are mounted on the shaft with their slots at right-angles so as to drop and grind alternately with one another. Elongated collars 10, 11 on the shaft cover the slots 8, and have recesses 12 to retain wearing-strips 13 on the faces of the shaft. The disks have renewable tyres 14 secured to central cores 16 by means of wedges 15 on their inner surfaces. To secure the tyre, the wedges are passed through the lateral arms 17 of peripheral bayonet-slots 17, 18, and then the tyre is rotated backwardly on the core to pass the wedges into the circumferential wedgeshaped arms 18 of the slots. Fusible metal may be afterwards run into the slots. Renewable liners 19 fitted to the wearing-surfaces of the slots 8 are held in grooves 20 extending from the periphery of the core 16. The renewable dies 21 are preferably of greater radius than the disks, and are held in position by a fixed lug 24 and a wedging-bar 25 adjusted by bolts 26. The front and rear ends of the dies are symmetrical so that the dies can be turned end for end when worn. For regulating the drop of the disks, the bearings 27 of the shaft 6 have saddle extensions 28 which engage the sides of the mortar-box and retain packing- blocks 29. The bearings are held down by bolts 30, and the blocks are formed with interlocking steps 31 to prevent lateral movement. The ore &c. is fed in at the opening 5, and the reduced material is discharged through an opening 3 which may be fitted with a screen 4. The mortar-box is fitted with a removable cover 2.
