is the grinding size adjustable?

I've never tested adjusting the salt grind, but the pepper grinder is def adjustable.

Yes. Tightening the nut that holds on the lid pulls the grinding disc up higher, giving a finer grind. Loosening the nut gives a coarser grind. This is from FAQ on the manufacturer's web site, where they call it the finial nut. Works on mine.

I'm not sure. Not at my shop but I think its either 8 or 10 inches. But the table and wheel are both adjustable independently. You can adjust the angle your grinding the edge at to match original bevel or adjust to only take off what you have to. Mine has probably extended the lifeof my blades 25-50% compared to when I used my bench grinder. I sharpen 10 sets of blades a week and it saves me time also.

The spindle size is 5/8 with a bushing that make it 1 1/4" . I removed that bushing and machined a bushing that allowed me use the 5/8" spindle , so to use the grinding wheels l had on hand . This is a nice grinder with lots of power , I use one end for a 8" buffing wheel.

Yes. When the 4 inch was too small for my project I purchased a 7 inch grinder, grinding wheel, and shroud through amazon. The 7 equipment is a significantly larger investment than the 4 1/2. 7 inch equipment: Grinder - DWE4557, floor grinding wheel - DW4775, and shroud DWE46170.

Yes, you can easily adjust the grind between fine and coarse and many stages in-between. To reach the white grinder dial, unscrew the clear plastic top next to the black plastic. Then turn the white grinder left or right to change the size of the grind. The first time you try this, grind over white paper to better see the size of grind. I keep a thick rubber band around the black plastic to make turning easier for me. Try green peppercorns instead of black corns. The taste is a bit milder, less sharp, and with more depth than black peppercorns.

I have found that by either loosening or tightening the screw on the top you can adjust the grind coarseness

The burr is not fastened at the bottom. The grind is controlled/adjusted by a star wheel and spring steel keeper that moves the rotating burr into and out of the stationary burr. It works well and only took two attempts to get the grind to my liking.

No. The only switch/control it has is an ON/OFF switch. The grind setting effect can be achieved by pressing the switch longer/shorter.

Yes you can adjust the grind level. It's very simple. It takes a few minutes of trial and error to find the grind you need. It would take less than 5 minutes to grind enough coffee for two small cups.

It is manual and there is a knob to adjust the setting which can be adjusted for finer or coarse grinding.

You can adjust it to grind at different degrees of coarseness, and it is very consistent at whatever degree you choose. It is smaller than I expected, but otherwise very nice. I prefer it to the electric grinder when I am making less than a full pot. It takes too long to use for a full pot since you have to refill it 3 or 4 times.

The grinder is adjustable by a thumbscrew on the shaft directly under the grinding head at the bottom of the grinder unit. It's easy to adjust and you can get from fine to coarse bits. However, with the salt grinder, within a few weeks the thumbscrew got corroded on the shaft and adjustment was not possible afterwards.

Yes. The arbor has a built in bushing that increases it's size to 7/8". The arbor nut is also made with a raised area on it for 7/8". That's what the grinder is made for and that's the size I use. We used nothing but DeWalt grinders at the gas company and I went a step up to buy this better one. Tjhis IS the one to buy!

Good question...I would say yes...though you would have to experiment with the setting to get the right grind.

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.

Yes you can adjust the grind on it by turning the "wheel" at the center of each end. Very easy. Love this item!!

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.
