Grinder Pain

[dullindependent]

Hello. I've been reading here for a while and am finally posting. Firstly, thank you all for the wealth of info here.

I have an Aerospaced grinder that I like, but it has threads, which I'm not crazy about. They get the ground up stuff on them, and then it gets on my table.

So, I have a couple questions for you. First, are there any grinders that have solved this problem? Also, do you have a favorite grinder, and are there are any annoying things about it? I'd like to get your thoughts because I'm thinking about designing one. Thanks!

Threads are always gonna get caked unless you use really really dry product.

I haven't used a grinder in years.
Bud is way too oily, it just balls up into little hash balls and gets the inside of the grinder just covered in goo.
I just use a pair of trimming scissors now, works faster, and better.

I use shea butter lightly to 'grease' my grinder top and chamber threads.

Thanks, Chuckeye. I hadn't heard of Brilliant Cut. That looks like the kind of design I was considering. I'm curious, do you have one?

7 weeks delivery, sigh.. And $150 for the 2.7" version, will have to wait for next payday to place an order

In the meantime I purchased a Titan Crusher for $30 off amazon.ca. It has arrived and I will pick it up next time I go to town for supplies !

The plan is to removed the kief screen to make a larger bottom container... It looks like the ground product doesn't come anywhere near the threads.

Cheers.

Hang tight gonna make a vid and post it to YT so you can see my $20 grinder picked up local and see if that is what you need or if you want to spend $150. You may have to hit 2-3-4 shops but I am sure you could find some other goodies while deciding on which grinder.

Here ya go........

YT did that

Whoah, dude. Thanks. I’m unable to watch it until later but I can’t believe you made one just for this. So cool.

Thanks for the video, oldskool.

Hey, oldskool. I watched the video, and I think this grinder works well, but I think it has the same problem that I experienced with the Aerospaced grinders. When you grind, the grindings fall in through those holes. If you open the grinder up to that section, you have to unscrew it. And when you open that up, the screw threads are gummed up with the grindings. As a result, when you open that, over time some of that stuff that's gumming up the threads falls out onto your table. That's the issue I'm talking about. Make sense?

Even without threads you will find it gets gummed and you drop some.... Trays are $5-$20
