Do you think I could also use this grinder for making icing sugar out of sugar?

I doubt it. Sugar isn't much more course than the finest ground this can do. If by icing sugar you mean confectioners sugar, you'd be way off. Furthermore, confectioners sugar has anti-caking agents in it. If you send regular sugar through this you'd likely just end up with a bunch of clumps of sugar from the pressure.

I suppose you could, if icing sugar and espresso grind is the same consistency, but I would not be surprised if sugar, being more corrosive than coffee, wears out the burrs faster: http://www.cibtech.org/J%20FOOD%20AGRI%20VETERINARY%20SCIENCES/PUBLICATIONS/2011/Vol%201%20No.%201/17-13-JFAV-Singh.pdf

No. But a Viamix blender will turn granulated sugar into icing sugar. However you need to addcornstarch to final product to make icing sugar.

I've been working with glass for over 30 years. For grinding glass you want to use a wet grinder. This would not work. regardless of the disk used.

Maybe. I'm not a baker. However, it is used to convert sugars (grain) to alcohol.

I would use it for that. Anytime you get one of the straight grinders, it might also be a good idea to get a 90 degree type as well.

Personally, I only use this grinder for coffee. Please see the description for any other food grinding

Sandra yes it can. I use for grinding mixed nuts that I keep in the firdge and add a tablespoon to my breakfast shake each morning. It is one of the best units I have found so far. Blades are very sharpe and the white blade unit pulls up and out for cleaning. It is not quite as fine as a hand grinder but I love it and use each week. M

It would be a little small for that. You'd be much better off using a grinder of some sort for a lawn mower blade.

I agree with the other answers as well, buy the right machine for grinding. I suggest a Porter Cable grinder, I personally use one with grinding/cutting/sanding wheels on it.

I would not grind sugar in the KOMO. It is meant for grains. I saw on another web site that they used a hand held coffee mill to make powered sugar from granulated sugar.

it would but at such small quantities it would not be practical this grinder is for herbs and spices. there are better larger grinders out there for grinding grains

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

I imagine you could. I just used them as is...but I don;t see why you couldn't grind them. Would just make the smaller.

Yes, I'm pretty sure you could, if purchase the right grinder adapter made for it. However, keep in mind, this high speed buffer and are intended for buffing purpose only. My recommendation is to buy the right machine that is made for grinding, plus machine is not a heavy duty which made for heavy grinding and you probably will be disappointed if use this machine for others than buffing.

If you broke them up into smaller pieces it might. I don't think it will grind them as fine as you'd want. It's not going to be powder.

I wouldn't. It doesn't seem sturdy enough, you may damage the blades inside. You should look into blenders!

I'll agree with the others - it can be used for things other than coffee but it seems to be designed for a coarser grind (at minimum setting) than most dedicated spice grinders are.

Not sure since it's not something I've tried. Don't know why not - you can get the grind as fine as you want - it's a SUPER grinder!
