are aluminum grinders a health hazard?
I just watched a vid on Youtube advertizing the 420 Diamond grinders, and the guy stated that aluminum grinders are unhealthy. Any truth to that?

Well diamond grind sucks.but anyway aluminium grinders are safe.there might be some metal flakes from the CNC process so just wash your grinder with alcohol or water and you should be fine.oh just saw that video.LMFAO!!that's a load of bullshit!just keep it clean and you'll be fine.have my sharp stone for over 5 years and I'm still alive.good luck with whatever you decide

Ones with nylon rings r good. Santa cruz shredders rule.... nothing really compares to the build quality. Nothing feels the same In your hand either.

Have "smart" grinders which have that ring. I think it's fine,

I can provide you with links, but researching aluminum toxicity is fairly straightforward.
If you are looking for opinion, I'm sure you will get a bit of everything.
Did you notice any nice stainless steel grinders?

Can't see why ally grinders would be a problem surely joints don't get hot enough to burn it anyway? Maybe I am wrong not sure.
I don't like em myself I prefer the plastic ones.... Although I really prefer the old pull apart method instead, but it uses too much weed!
