Can I use this to grind eggshells down to a powder?

The BCG450XL Conical Burr Grinder is designed for use as a coffee grinder only. It is not designed to handle items such as egg shells.

Tyler, thanks for the question. If you want your herbs ground to a 'powder' you are probably better off buying an electric spice/coffee grinder with a very fast spinning blade.

The extension tool allows for fine detailed work. With the right attachment, I believe you can carve egg shells. Probably will need 1500 grit tip. I've used it to carve walnut shells.

I doubt it. Think of it as a wire whisk alternative. I use it mostly for powdered drinks, and I think that's probably your best bet.

I don't think it would be good for that. its light weight plastic. I would just use a bench grinder for that.

Although I did not use it for dying eggs, I suppose it might work great for that. Give it a try.

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

Yes and I'm sure anything else grinded would work. All three are different sizes. If no garbage disposal then easier to let them sit and dry before dumping.

You can but if that's all you'll ever be using it for you may just want to get a smaller capacity grinder. That said, it's a really good grinder. I've had mine several years now and it still works great.

I don't think so, depending on the amount you plan to grind, for small amount how about mortar and pestle and large a good blender. The one your checking on is made for nutmeg.

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.

I have used this grinder for both white sea salt and Himalayan Pink sea salt and it worked will for both. It creates a very fine powder. So I can only assume it would work will for smaller grains.

I am not sure, I am a jeweler and used thid for polishing wampum (quahog shells / hard clam shells) and it worked wonderfully for that purpose. Sorry, I am probably not much help.

I would probably do that. I filled mine with salt from Vietnam, not oven-dried, and it was too soft for this grinder and kept getting stuck. I eventually mixed with sea salt before figuring out you need to oven dry.

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?

Yes you can. As long as you don't overflow the bottom chambers with the egg/milk liquid it should work fine. Mine come out great.

I'm sure you could, it might weaken the metal. But it would be worth a shot. I do like it a lot! It works great, and I can do a lot of shells in a short amount of time. I hope this helps.
