Commentaire sur Mo'ed Katan 1:9
מַעֲמִידִין תַּנּוּר וְכִירַיִם וְרֵחַיִם בַּמּוֹעֵד. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אֵין מְכַבְּשִׁין אֶת הָרֵחַיִם בַּתְּחִלָּה:
Il est permis d'installer un four, une cuisinière et un moulin sur Chol Hamoed. [Il est permis de construire, d'installer et de réparer un four dont Chol Hamoed a besoin. Parce que leurs fours ont été déplacés d'un endroit à l'autre, nous avons "mis en place".] R. Yehudah dit: Il n'est pas permis d'aiguiser [et de marteler] une meule (sur Chol Hamoed) ab initio [si elle est trop lisse et ne pas bien broyer. La halakha n'est pas conforme à R. Yehudah.]
Bartenura on Mishnah Moed Katan
מעמידין – they build and restore and repair the oven that they need for the Festival, and because they would carry their ovens from place to place, for that reason, the Mishnah teaches, “set up.”

Bartenura on Mishnah Moed Katan

English Explanation of Mishnah Moed Katan
They may set up an oven, stove or a millstone during the festival. Setting up an oven, stove or a mill involved assembling the separate parts and connecting them with plaster. The mishnah allows this because it is not a lot of work and it is necessary for the festival.

English Explanation of Mishnah Moed Katan
Rabbi Judah says: they may not roughen millstones for the first time. For the millstones to grind well, their face was had to be roughened by putting grooves and ridges on it. While Rabbi Judah agrees that one can set up the millstone, he doesn’t allow it to be roughened for this is strenuous work. The roughening also could have been done before the festival.
