Does it come with two sizes of grinding plates? If not, which size does it come with, coarse or fine grind plate? Thank you

As Michael said it comes with one plate and it has many 1/8" diameter holes.

It only comes with one plate and since this is my first grinder I don't really know a fine grind from a coarse one. I've been using it to make fresh ground chuck burgers. I only need to put it thru once and it's the perfect consistency for that purpose. The front plate is a separate piece so maybe the company sells other options.

The settings for grinding are 2,4,6,8 and 10 cups. If you put in enough water for one cup and set it on two for grinding it might be a little strong.

It comes with1/8 inch but you can buy any #32 plate and use it.I bought a 1/2 plate and just used it to grind and make sausage.

Not sure how many settings they have. You can dial from a coarse grind to a relatively fine grind as I am now using. BTW, I don't find these grinders to be a waste of money as one reviewer responded back.

Not sure of the specific grinder but we use it daily with a variety of machines. Good product, have used most of the competition, though we still deal with a lot of dust. Have not found the perfect solution.

The wheels come in two diameters and both appear to be 60 grit. The discs come in two diameters and both appear to be 180 grit. The interchangeable grinding stones come in two grits, approximately 120 and 220.

I have used it with a French press. You can adjust the size of the grind by unscrewing the knob on the top of the handle. Then rotate the grinding wheel up or down for coarser or finer grounds.

Since I don't have both, your guess is as good as mine. Perhaps it is just about the fine blade, which I doubt I'd use anyway. The one I purchased has two blades, a coarse and a medium. Mine is entirely made of metal and built to last. I would never waste my money on a plastic grinder.

This was a gift but from what I saw, the grind was pretty coarse. I also think it's adjustable. My son-in-law loved it - laughed every time he used it!

This grinder has no coarseness setting. You have to adjust coarseness by how long you grind the beans. This was one of the problems I had with this grinder.

If you want a coarse grind, this grinder can do it. You can recalibrate it to grind coarser than it does out of the box, but that is very easy to do and is documented in the manual. I suggest that you turn the knob to #1 and try it. If it is not coarse enough for you, use a 5/32" allen wrench to remove the screw from the knob, and turn the white adjuster to the left a little (two clicks), then replace the knob. Grind consistency is excellent with this grinder. To counter claims that the grinder spills grounds: I use a small rubber mallet to tap the grinder body and I don't have any problem. (Put a piece of tape on the grinder body to protect it from marring.) Almost any coffee grinder will be messy--even commercial ones. When cleaning the grinder, check that the two allen screws in the back of the grind adjuster are screwed firmly into the threaded holes. Tighten them with the 5/32" allen wrench. Mine had worked out (it caused no damage), but they haven't loosened since I tightened them.

This grinder does not have a standard plate size. I have searched all over and have only found a 5/16 plate that was the correct size. Instead I purchased standard #22 plates and machined the diameter down and enlarged the hole to the proper size. Any machine shop can do this.

No, It's just the grinder. As was mentioned, not great for fine work, but works well for what it was designed to do, fast material removal.

There are no blades. This uses ceramic gears that mesh together. You can get a finer grind by adjusting them tighter or a coarser grind vice versa. The grinders with blades do not have a chance in comparison. They leave inconsistent grounds of varying size and this one is near perfection.

There is a screw in the bottom of the grinder with a groove (works fine with a flat-head screw driver) you can turn either direction to adjust the coarse or fineness of your grind. I played around with mine over a large piece of wax-paper until I got a nice mix; partially coarse/partially medium-fine. Good Luck! BTW, I love this pepper grinder. The seasoning of foods with fresh grind is beyond compare!

Yes, this item came with grinding blades. I needed to provide my own cutting blades.
