I would like to grind suet to render into tallow. Can the grinder handle straight suet (fat) without jamming?

We grind beef heart and chicken frames for our dogs which contain a lot of fat. So far, we have never had it jam. We think it is an awesome grinder.

Yes, just make sure the fat is cold before you grind it. The machine is great.

I have no experience making tallow but if you want to grind fat I would suggest making it really cold, almost solid before putting it through. Hope that helps

This machine is great. I use it to grind suet in my shop. It never jam except once and it was because a frozen peice of meat. Buy it without thinking

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

I have not used my grinder for this kind of work. I do grind a lot of venison and have not had to clean it until I get my batch done, about 25 lbs. There are things that get wound around the blade, but that is going to happen with any grinder I do believe.

Yes, but grind it coarse first, then fine if wanted. Coffee beans are a little sticky.

yes. grinders aren't real precise and messy, can't get up close to corners with them. these tools are amazing. I would try a hammer and chisel on thinset for such a small area. my .02

Absolutely! This grinder ROCKS! I have ground flax with it beautifully. I haven't ground sunflower seeds yet (great idea) but I'm confident the grinder would have no problems. Two passes through the grinder is usually what i do. Three if my grain is larger and / or harder.

I do not think a grinder will work with regular pepper. Too much would come out when you spun the top, or it would leak out.

It is designed to be a grinder not a little blender so i wouldn't risk it. Would it not be just as easy to add water.? I see you have an indian name so you are likely to have a pestle and mortar to wet-grind by hand affter dry grinding?

I am not sure. I never tried grind fat scraps. I did not have problem with fat meat. I think if your fat will be cold it will work. hope this will help. Benjamin.

I ground dried pinto beans as a test and it was no difficulty at all. The grinder will reduce things but stops short just of being a fine powder and more so a fine "grit". As to courser grinds I am not aware of it's capability although I think it should do a satisfactory job.

You could try. The grounds really get stuck in there. Mine died after a couple of years, but while it worked, it was a great grinder.

Yes indeed, this will crack the hull of the grains. The grind can be adjusted. Although maybe not to powder or fine enough for coffee - depends how fine / course you need...

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.

I'd say the oils in the flax seed will probably gum up near the grinder and go rancid. You're probably better off buying a dedicated grinder/blender.

no, but for me that was not a problem. i prefer to use one that is much more stout than ones that come with grinders.

Janell, I'm really not sure how well it would work because dried fruit may be sticky were meat is not. As for the grinder it's wonderful, it grind though meat fast. If I were you I'd call the manufacture and ask them.

not that I am aware of. but you can never tell these days. I will say this about the LEM grinder, all metal gears and it eats deer meat as fast as you can push it in the top. the plastic stomper is useless the one time I needed it.
