Can it do coarse grinding?

There isn't a setting that allows for different grinds. It's a button you hold down. You can get a course grind as long as you dont have the on/off button depressed for too long.

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.

It can grind as fine or as coarse as you want depending on how long you run it. I use it for grinding the beans for all my coffee, whether it's coarse for my Chemex of really fine for my espresso.

It grinds 3/8" to about 1/2" coffee beans into whatever dergee of powder you wish. It depends on how long you run it. I usually pulse the on off button to get better mixing of the grind.

coarse coffee for sure, other spices etc. not too sure about but would be hard to get a uniform grind I think.

I use it only for coffee beans. Works fine but you have to judge how long to grind. My previous coffee grinder had automatic gring setting from course to fine. That is my only complaint

The amount of time you depress the button on top of the unit determines the coarseness or fineness of the beans used. I grind about ten (10) seconds to get a medium/fine grind. You get the picture?

If you don't grind for long it will grind courser, but I don't know if it will be course enough for your use.

As others have said here, for coffee, you can get a course grind by not grinding so long. I use mine for spices and want a very fine grind.

As with any grinding device, the shorter the pulse the courser the grind. I use this grinder for spices so I normally like a very fine grind so I pulse the button quite a few times. If I just press the grind button once or twice momentarily, the grind is much courser. I would also think that it also depends on what you are grinding. This is a very good grinder so I would give it a try. With some trial and error, you should be able to do what you want. Good luck.

I don't see why not-it is a very durable grinder that should handle any plant material

I have not tried it, but I would think the way it is built that you should be able to accomplish that. This grinder has several grind settings and does a great job. I am very pleased with it since I purchased it.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you could, if purchase the right grinder adapter made for it. However, keep in mind, this high speed buffer and are intended for buffing purpose only. My recommendation is to buy the right machine that is made for grinding, plus machine is not a heavy duty which made for heavy grinding and you probably will be disappointed if use this machine for others than buffing.

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,it will grind as fine as you want. If you have the tine and power it will liquefy.

I have not used it for dry grinding but I think it will do the job as it is sharp & pretty powerful for its size

Sandra yes it can. I use for grinding mixed nuts that I keep in the firdge and add a tablespoon to my breakfast shake each morning. It is one of the best units I have found so far. Blades are very sharpe and the white blade unit pulls up and out for cleaning. It is not quite as fine as a hand grinder but I love it and use each week. M

No, it doesn't grind that fine. It's great for everyday home use, but really not for very fine type grinds.

I agree with the other answers as well, buy the right machine for grinding. I suggest a Porter Cable grinder, I personally use one with grinding/cutting/sanding wheels on it.

We do not use it for fine grinds-- just coarser, as for French press coffee. We have a different grinder we like for fine grinding.

We have not tried that yet. This was for my husband, and so far he has only done a medium/fine grind.

Yes, it will work for roughing them out but you'll get better results with a slower rpm machine with a finer grit wheel.

I don't think it would be a problem. I used it to grind concrete which it did with ease. Suggest that you keep the surface that you are grinding wet to help control the dust.

Not sure since it's not something I've tried. Don't know why not - you can get the grind as fine as you want - it's a SUPER grinder!

It will grind it to a point. Not to flour consistency. Might work for what your looking to do.

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