Can this unit grind course Himalayan rock salt

Yes. I use similar salts. The gap between the rotating ceramic grinding disc and the non moving circular base is adjustable. Thus, for salt which is not in the form of large crystals, one can reduce the gap, and it would be fine. One thing to note is that the salt being used has to be free-flowing though. So if the Himalayan rock salt is sticky, then it would not enter the grinding section at all. Hope this helps. :)

i dont know, but i can tell you it uses 6 aaa batteries and they have to be replaced after using it after a couple weeks of light usage. i quit using it except when I have guest.

It can probably grind other things. You can open it and refill so I'm sure you can grind something else. It does come with salt.

Yes, the large coarse grain salt, like Himalayan works great in these grinders

It really depends on what you want to accomplish. It's basically "clean" salt. For the machine you will need to use many packages.

It can work with regular salt but doesn't really grind that much finer. Works best with sea salt and or kosher salt!

not from my observation and experience. i'm not sure what you mean regarding the spindle. I think my oxo salt grinder works well.

Yes it does! I have Himalayan salt in mine. I think Himalayan is softer than regular coarse salt so this works very well!

I bought a Japanese ceramic salt grinder here on Amazon and it works great even with the wetness of this salt. It is called a Kyocera Ceramic Fine Mill.

If you have humidity issues, the salt may stick in the pepper mill. If you live in the desert I like do, then you could use the pepper mill as a salt grinder.

I use this grinder for sea salt. It works just great. My husband and I use it all the time when we put salt on things.

Since I have this gronder, I've only used it for sea salt. The coarse type that's being used to grind clamps much les than the fine salt you would use in a shaker, and it works fine for me.

Hello,Yes this model will deliver a little more salt/pepper per push as the grinding shaft does travel a longer distance. The difference is very slight though it will not be very noticeable. Best Regards,Eparé Team

The salt is quite coarse - more like Kosher salt. I would suggest trying it out first and then buying a grinder if necessary

Possibly.. My rock salt came w/ rock salt,, about the size of small pepper corns, but a few larger. After a year, I noted, after your query, that there are a ring of 3 holes & four holes underneath alternating, for 10 bays, or 70 total holes, for air to come in. Over 60% of mine after 1 yr's use, needed punching thru with a medium sizede needle,, probably solidified salt, as I punched about 20 holes with my needle, 1/3 were still open .so maintenance must be needed.. Nobody ever mentioned that before. If your fine ground salts are smaller than a medium size needle, you'd need a fine fleeter stuffed inside, or a filter attached under the device. which would work -an oversized cloth, wrapped with simple rubber band. The bottom opening for refills is a small 1/2' clear rubber stopper. That should give you a better insight of the unit. Moisture is going to affect both large & small crystals too.

Don't know for sure, but it does grind black pepper and sea salt to variances of fine, medium, and coarse.I would take a chance. Its an excellent auto grinder. We really like ours.

Yes, but Amazon would be the people to ask. I just use it for different kinds of salt

You can adjust the grind. I prefer my salt larger than table salt so it works well for me.
