kyflytyer 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2009 I've beeen thinking about getting a small coffee grinder at Wal-Mart or K-Mart to use as a dubbing blender. Does anyone have one that they use for this? I've heard they work well but you have to pulse synthetics to keep them from melting. What are your experiences?

I have one of the smaller ones that I use. If you can find the ones that are top loading and have the push down to engage function, thats the one to get. Doesn't melt the synthetics and are easy to clean. I love mine. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 4, 2009 I bought a Black and Decker for $9 new at Wally World. Goes in the top and one touch pulse. works great!!!!!!!! The only thing I make sure and do is have a small hobby paint brush to get the corners clean.\ Fatman Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FKROW 0 Report post Posted November 8, 2009 The key to using a coffee grinder is short bursts,,,,, if you leave it on for a few seconds too long,,, it will melt synthetics or destroy the natural fur. Regards, FK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
