i want a metal one that is good at literally making bud powder. mine doesnt make it as fine as i wish it would be. and i like it to be as fine as possible to put in blunts and papers.
Well man I love my Chromium Crusher. It is a four piece grinder that is incredible at it's job. It is machined and designed very well and it is obvious when you use it. I got mine on 4/20 at my local headshop for a sweet discount but you can find them online reasonable as well.

Not sure if it's going to get you "powder," but apparently mendo mulchers are about as good as you can get for the money. I think I'm going to get one soon.
Thanks man. And I like powder for paper and blunts as well as bongs and bubblers. Personal thing I find powder hits alot harder and stays cherried.
a simple 2 piece plastic grinder is going to get your bud the most finely ground. i suppose a two piece metal grinder could do the same but its gonna cost 20x more and it has no benefits. anything with more than two pieces isnt going to give you that power consistency that your looking for, since the bud falls through the holes and into the next compartment.
Metal certainly does have benefits over plastic. But, if you're going to buy a grinder, I'd definitely recommend shopping around online for one. From my experience, grinders in stores are 2 times more expensive than the same grinder online.
If you have a 4 piece grinder already and you don't think it grinds it fine enough, just unscrew the top 2 parts used for grinding and hold it upside down so that nothing falls out, then you can grind it for as long as you want, its the same thing as a 2 piece. It would be a waste of money to get a new grinder, imo at least
like what? its really not worth it to buy a $20 two piece metal grinder when you can get a $1 plastic one.
the only differences are quality, durability/longevity, how well/smooth it spins etc. its not like those are the things you want in a grinder or anything... i like my teeth to stay in place. plus, i wouldnt wanna use alcohol to clean a plastic grinder.
i understand how you might think that. but in all honestly my plastic grinder that came with the volcano has lasted longer than any other grinder i have had. it turns smother than any of my metal grinders theres no threads to strip its next to impossible for the teeth to "move" since its all once piece. even my sharpstone has lost a peg due to grinding a super dense sticky nug
my experience has been the exact opposite. my plastic grinder has lasted around 6 years now and almost all the metal ones have something wrong.
A four piece grinder isn't going to give you a fine grind, at least I haven't seen one that does. The 4p gives a nice fluffy grind with kief collection. If you want powder then a two piece is what you want. Technically a four piece you could just grab the top two layers, flip upside down, and grind away, but even then it isn't "powder". Obviously space case is a well made grinder, I've heard good things about the two piece for people wanting a powdery weed substance so they can use their MFLB.
I just got a sharpstone and am very disappointed. I'm still using my old titanium crusher cause I like it better
i dont think that, thats mine and my friends experiences ? no disrespect, but just because yours is still going strong doesnt mean its better. it may have better value for you since its still working, but you cant say plastic is more durable than metal. and my metal one is all one piece too so my teeth wont move either. and if it was a big nug, that kinda makes sense. oh, and no 2piece has threads, thatd be kinda stupid so saying that is pointless.
i never said it was better lol. obviously a $40 sharpstone or spacecase is going to be better than a $1 plastic shit grinder. all i was alluding to was that contrary to what one may think, for the purposes that the op mentioned, a plastic grinder gets the job done pretty well.
