Does it grind as fine as powder, and will it have enough torque to do the job?

The grinder itself is a composite material, not metal. It's adjustable and when it was new it did grind peppercorns and rock salt into a powder. I found with age that the adjustment didn't hold and I'd have to reset it.

Mine is brand new, and it does not grind finely at all. Everything is coarse, even when it's on the finest setting. I am going to return this.

The weakest point of the grinders is their lack of grinding down to powder. The difference between the course grind and the fine grind is almost negligible.

Yes it will. If you're interested in finding out specifically what the mill will and will not grind, please reference the web site: http://willitgrind.com

yes it will grind nuts, be sure to have the plastic lid on since it will grind it as fine as you wish.

I am using mine for salt and pepper but you have to make sure that it is a fine grind, not coarse.

Yes, it will grind roasted coffee beans as fine as talcum powder if you want it that fine, or more coarse if that is your preference. I have even used it to grind green coffee beans (which are very hard, and thus extremely difficult to grind) to a fine powder. It does heat up a little during the grinding, and the thermal switch may cut in before you get the beans fully ground. To reduce the risk of that happening, I freeze the beans before grinding them, by placing them in the fast freeze section of my freezer about an hour before grinding.

I have used it with both grinding and cutting wheels and it has not disappointed me. I have cut pipes, wire, and mild steel up to 1/4 thick with no problem. It is ideal for everyday use in a home garage. I recommend it.

I bought this grinder to use with concrete grinding attachment. It Has plenty of power to grind and should be strong enough to cut porcelian tile.

Don't know exactly how fine of grind you need, but it is adjustable and can take the bean down to almost a powder.

I only use mine for French press grinding ( big chunks) but the grinder is easily adjustable by using the nut/screw underneath the handle. Mine grinds very consistently; I don't see why it wouldn't do a fine grind.

It will work if you reduce the air pressure thus reducing the RPM. I use mine for sanding and polishing a lot and do not want it running at it's full RPM because it' to fast. That quickly destroys sanding and polishing disks. I generally use it around 35 to 40 psi which of course requires less CFM. My compressor is very large so CFM is not an issue. I have a small 6 gal pancake compressor for my nail guns etc. I'll hook up the grinder today and report back how it performs.

Yes!!! Most assuredly! I haven't used it for grinding bones as stated it will do, but it hasn't slowed down with any of the wild game I have thrown in it. I would buy another tomorrow! I love, love it.

It is fast for a grinder this small. It still works very well after several years of service. I have made sausage and venison hamburger as well as other small tasks.

I don't think it has the capabilities to grind things into powders. I am almost 100% certain it cannot. I primarily use it for my dogs food and it can barely grind chicken bones which it is supposed to be able to do.

It should work fine. Haven't tried it myself. But it works for different size grinds.

No, I have only used it for coffee. I think that grinding moist substances, like ginger and garlic, would not work well unless it was fully loaded. I wouldn't do this with my mine.

It works fine for coarse grinds. We do both fine and much less fine for coffee maker.

I have used it to grind whole peppercorns. Does a decent job. Grind for a few seconds, then check for desired consistency.
