I have 2 grinders, 1 is wooden & 1 is metal. The wooden 1 got used so much that the 'nails' started loosening, so I got a nice metal 1.
I've noticed the same thing, though. It was getting really difficult to turn, so I put a drop of 3-in-1 oil around the inner part & just kept turning it until the thing got nice & lubed. Twists & turns smooth as silk now.
Try 1 or 2 drops of 3-in-1 oil on the inner part & your days of twisting will be as smooth as Chubby Checker's.

Oh damn POMH, I didn't know we were roasting minds_I.
Lol, a good coffee grinder, like a nice small one that can chop instead of obliterate the weed into saw dust is good. Well sawdust is good if you have a hookah or a big waterpipe.
I know what you mean though! I actually broke the screen on my hand grinder, now I gotta go procure another one.....

Zoltron, don't use that 3 n 1 on something you ingest. It is not meant for that. It is light machine oil not intended for human consumption.
First use a q-tip and rubbing alcohol to clean away the gummed resin and then use a drop a veggie oil or olive oil for lube. Safe and works great.
If the resin is real thick I use scissors or a sharp knife to carefully scrape it away (into my joint).
I've heard those aluminum grinders shave off tiny aluminum particles into your weed. Aluminum is pretty soft. I have a wood Sweatleaf and it is great.

The oil doesn't get into the grinder. It's around the outside lip.
LOL!! I've 'consumed' a helluva lot worse things than 1 drop of machine oil.

Ya gotta know when you are talking to an old stoner Heady Pete, and Zolty is the oldest man.........
hahaha love you Zoltron
yeah a lil 3 in 1 isn't hurting anyone, least not the amount that could get into the bud if any.
Hello all,
I should like to thank everyone for thier suggestions.
What I was getting at was my gripping the grinder to turn it- its a two inch diameter and works wonderfully - well until the arthritis kicking in for the season.
Also, it helps to not fill up your grinder to capacity and then try to grind thse rock hard nugs I grew-should have done it in stages.
Also, I have put rubber bands around the grinder to help with gripping tight enough to turn.

Oh sorry to hear that...OK then, but for future reference, it's a champ.
Exactly. I found that the little extra time it may take, smaller portions make for an easier spin.

I use a coffee grinder...like the kind you would use to grind fresh beans in your kitchen. Works great and collects lots of keif in the cap. The one I got even came with a kefi brush.
P.S. it's called the SmartGrind by Black & Decker
edit-I found a link with one for less than 20 bucks!

Hello all,
I would think a coffee grinder would be a challenge to keep from turning the buds into dust.
I now have a feel for how the grind is for each load- I like mine like this - goes well in the bong or homemade vaporizor. Excellent grind for joints as well.
I have a coffee grinder on my kitchen counter-perhaps I will clean it and give a small bud a spin.
