(trilema) ben_vulpes: a burr grinder has nested conical grinding faces; spacing between which controls ground finenes
(trilema) ben_vulpes: ah well yeah, especially the bladed models are going to produce lots of high velocity particles
(trilema) ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: the burrs are steel in mine
