Can you grind metal with it?

We use it to square stainless steel tubing 1/2" to 4" diameter with a wall thickness from .035" to .085" It works pretty good, if you are going to grind solid bar it might be a little light duty, but for tubing it is good.

Yes, it eats aluminum like crazy. Steel a little tougher but I have used it on a lot of metal. Pick up some extra sandpaper disks as it comes with one. I think 60 or 80 grit

Yes, as long as the piece you're grinding is managable and the abrasive is durable.

I have never used mine to grind metal but I have read of others who have. You just need the right kind of disks. I suggest you go on line and read how guys do it.

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.

I would say yes but I'd use a masonry grinder. This is used for smoothing surfaces.

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

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.

It can grind as fine or as coarse as you want depending on how long you run it. I use it for grinding the beans for all my coffee, whether it's coarse for my Chemex of really fine for my espresso.

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

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.

Yes, and very well. It's one of the handiest grinders I've owned and you'll find it well worth the price.

You might want to ask Peet's directly. It's a fairly fine grind. We use it in reusable K-cups in our Keurig brewer.

You could, potentially, if you found it has the same size as the glass base; although you risk damaging both products. The great thing about having the grinder fitted tightly to the glass base is that you have a good grip while grinding.

Nope dont use a grinder -gets metal to hot . I use a number of grits to get a razor edge . If no edge is present i use 80 , 110 , 220 ,320 ,600 then leather . Also i put a 30 degree angle like a katana sword has , edge cuts cleaner and longer unless you hit a rock or metal it wont dull . Well maybe if you have cheap steel it will dull after a long while . I charge my friends 5 bucks because supplys are so high and after i get the 30 degree on there they are very pleased with the preformance . Hope this helps : )

It grinds anything you want to, the only problem is that it shaves off pieces of metal everytime i try to grind from seeds to corn. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND IT AT ALL. DO NOT BUY IT, IS NOT WORTH IT...I still have mine, i also called and email the website from were i bought this grinder to see if i can return it but they never answered me back.

Absolutely... You can set the grind fairly coarse and works great when grinding for a French press. Also makes te grinding process much quicker.

It would not be very safe, it works very well with soft metals such as aluminum, bronze and low alloy steels. However with a good cutter think it would work very well with hardened steel, I suit my mill a device for grinding and works very well with hardened metals such as tapered shafts.

Feel sure it has enough power to cut metal but I haven't used it for that yet. Please pay attention to the guard type you'll need in order to use this grinder with a cutoff wheel...
