I have three small chihuahuas and am afraid to use "cutters". Previous grinders are too powerful, too noisy and vibrate stronglly. Would appreciate any ideas.

Isn't very loud but it is powerful. I use mine on my Doberman and my Yorkie. With the small dog the speed is helpful.

This works really great however my Boston Terrier's don't like the sound or the vibration. So I use a Guillotine style nail clipper. They tolerate this type better than the side cutters.

You have to make sure you either have a cut off disk rated for very high rpm, or you have to set the speed of the grinder low. Otherwise you risk shattering the cutoff disk do to speed, and that would lead to injury.

I used a 4.5 inch with it. You might be able to get by witb 4 inch but make sure you keep the guard on the grinder.

There's a device on top that you tighten or loosen to adjust the coarseness of the grind. After owning for 6 months, I would not recommend this product.

I have and use about a half dozen of the grinders, but have never had a problem. Are you grinding something very tough? It might have worn down the ceramic mill. Metal grinders are best with the tough items like peppercorns. I use mine to grind coarser herbs or dried peppers.

Would you let me know if you found a grinder that can conch chocolate? I used to do it in a 500 lb grinder but I need a little one now for my home

Yes but holding the chain with pliers would be needed. Years ago when I was in logging I used my electric chain grinder for chainsaw chain to also do the dogs. Be careful, if you are not an experienced sawyer-faller and if you grind the dogs to low you we increase the inertia or kick back of the saw. I kept my dogs cut to 0.025 (25 thousands) below the lowest point in the chisel tooth. Grinding dogs should be a critical depth that an electric chainsaw chain grinder can produce. An open grinder will NOT give you precision grinding on the guide teeth/dogs.

DITTO....I would not.....the RPM s (revolutions per minute), are different... the wheel would heat up...the grinder is way too fast

though the grinder worked great for elk, i don't think it is made for bone crushing ! in a few days my wife, and I ground 400 lbs. of elki would invest in the higher end of the grinders......1000 - 1500 watts, and that size is still inexpensive !!

I think it is too much torque to polisher. And very much of air consumption.You do Better to take of small electric Tooth grinder set.

I have noticed that the adjustment knob does wobble abit, but it doesn't seem to be hurting anything. In the manual it does say that the grinders will loosen over time, but that there are adjustment screws that ban be tightened. So far so good, no problems.

It would really depend on how rough the surface if the stucco is. If there are really high rough edges you might end up getting the wheel stuck and the grinder could easily rip out of your hands or cause some pretty serious injury if it gets away from you. But it all depends on your skill level and what your work surface looks like.

This grinder is better for small grains. The larger stuff like corn or bean are too big and the teeth won't grab them to grind them up.

I absolutely do NOT recommend this grinder for making cat food. See my review for more on this. In the comments, I include a link to the grinder I finally settled on and am loving!

I haven't used this model, it was a gift...but the previous model called a Happy Bwby Food Grinder, left little to nothing when the plunger reached the blade. If you are doing really tough, dry meat, you might have a little problem. I chopped any meats us tiny and incorporated with a vegetable.

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.

The dog will be skittish as usual. Grinding its nails will not change the behavior except maybe to make it worse. Try de-sensitizing the dog to be more passive to having its paws handled before investing in a grinder. Try behavior modification techniques. My dog hates me doing her nails, but is too passive to resist.
