Is the interior surface smooth or feel like sand paper to provide a grinding effect ?

The inside has texture it does a great job grinding and it does so rather quickly!

The interior is roughed up just enough to provide the friction necessary for grinding up different ingredients into powders and pastes. My son uses it to make pesto and my boyfriend pulverizes spices with it.

a fine sand paper effect. I use mine frequently for grinding and absolutely love it! I believe it is well worth the investment.

The inside surface isn't like sandpaper nor is it rough. But, it also isn't like glass. When you fell the inside you can fell the texture/grain. If there is such a thing as grain in granite.

It's definitely not smooth. Almost don't like the feel, but it works well for grinding.

It is between the two. It definitely has been polished but not to a completely smooth texture.

The interior is not smooth like polished marble. It is just a natural finish like stone, it does not feel like sand paper,The roughness to it is very slight. It works well.

Minimal movement relates to attachment to grinding mechanism. Not a problem

Yes, one side is polished smooth while the bottom is rough and mine had small rubber feet.

It feels like a medium/fine grit sandpaper. Not uncomfortable, but definitely different. You won't slip on the surface, whether you're standing or sitting.

I don't think grinding would be appropriate....unless you are making nut butter.....Mine seems quiet compared to the whine of my Hamilton Beach...which I also loved.

I do not know for sure (not marked), it feels like it's made from a hard plastic, it has a smooth finish. You can find wooden ones online. The grinder is great, works smoothly, no metal shavings in your food.

Yes, I believe it is. I was happy with the quality of the grind, but everything else was of poor quality. If you plan on using it once a week or less it may be adequate. If you plan on using more frequently you are probably better off spending a bit more on something else.

Yes, the bottom is smooth & has no grooves or indentations in it. My electric stove top is ceramic, as well & this wok is perfect.

There is a slightly rippled texture to the surface - only noticeable when looking closely at it - and the combination of this texture and the materials used to make the surface make for a great non-stick surface. We've used ours regularly for a couple of months now and have yet to use any type of Pam or other product. Food glides right off.

I would consider it smooth. There is a very minimal amount of texture; just enough to keep it from being slick smooth.

From what I can tell, yes. There is a dome like piece that joins the blade with the bowl. This piece could very well be a hard plastic; it's not soft. I'm not clear why the question though. I've ground many spices without even a scratch on the smooth glossy piece. Everything seems to stay brand new looking. I use an OXO Bottle Brush to very easily clean the bowl leaving no residue trace behind. I very much recommend this grinder - but I only need it for grinding spices, which it consistently and very effectively accomplishes.

No,its not as smooth as flat glass. Its slightly textured, but not a coarse feel, just a bit bumpy.

It is granular. I put it in my blender or coffee grinder if I need it powdered.

it is not smooth, there's a slight bit of texture to it similar to medium to fine grit sandpaper. Hope that helps!

There is a rubber sanding drum attachment which is about ½-inch diameter on which you mount various grits of sandpaper. I guess you could smooth plastic with that. Both inside and outside curves, but will have to watch not to get the material too hot or it will melt and imbed in the sandpaper grit.

It has a kind of sanded feel. Not polished. I have not experienced any slippage myself.
