The 4 piece has a screen to sift keif and a 3rd chamber where keif will collect while the 3 piece does not.

Dat precision...
Thank you!
I was like how much is 13/16, well 1/16 is... then I just did 2 - (3/16) lol.

I received my santa cruz shredder but it is not the same size that they listed, I ordered a large which should be 2.75 inches but mine is only 2 and does not have the same hole alignment as shown in the image of a large. I emailed them so lets see what happens.
I just think its kind of disappointing how all these sites have them listed inconsistently.

i could be wrong, but i think the 4 piece has a regular bottom with an edge, the 3 piece has a curved bottom.
and to state the obvious, the kief catcher. it might come with a pollen press depending on what you order.

I wanna give them a chance to make good before I name who it is, I did do my homework by checking sizes and comparing the images, there site also says the diameter. The large one has a different alignment of holes than the small and I ordered a large(has the correct image on there site) but received a small one with different hole placement.

stay true to yourselves
I thought so just judging from the picture, but thanks for reassuring me

So I was looking at the SCS, more precisely (and after discussing it with @Caligula) at the 3 pieces one which has now 2 more colors by the way
and then I realized that the lid of this grinder goes inside the medium part and not around it. This goes for their other grinders as well apparently.
This means an extra surface for some sort of ground deposit no? And also prevents the use of those grinders lubricant or am I missing something?
For some reason I'm still interested by this grinder though (probably because so many FC'ers like it) and hope it'll beat the space case in the current Mass drop poll.

You are correct. This is the only part of the scs design that leaves me scratching my head. I have grinders that have the male side on the lower piece (sc, 7th floor snuff shredder and others) and grinders with the male side on the lid piece (scs and xxl sharp stone). IMO having the male side of the grinder on the lower piece (like the sc) is a better design for keeping pieces of bud out of the rim to avoid sticky rims but anodizing also helps keep the rims clean. The absolute best grinder that I have found to date for amount of bud it can grind before the rims are too gummed to use is the 7th floor snuff shredder. It's basically the same design as the sc but the machining is much cleaner on the snuff shredder leaving less nooks and crannys for particles to get lodged. The grind consistency from the scs is the best tho so it's my go to grinder.
You can use grinder grease on the scs. While the rims are clean put a small amount on the rim of the top piece of the grinder, put the pieces together and give it a few turns to lube up all the surfaces.

Funny enough in the end, I got a Puffitup 4 part aluminum grinder because I ordered an Indica on puffitup. Should be coming in the mail soon.
This... is actually not a bad grinder. I got a free one with my Solo through Randy at PIU. Gifted it to my brother who was rocking a POS acrylic piece. Something I wouldn't have done if it sucked balls.
Then again I never used it enough that it started to gum up.

3 piece SCS owner here, I noticed this problem on my 2nd grind. The sides gumming up -- I heard the squeaking. Was quite surprised it happened that fast. Granted it's a smaller grinder than I'm used to so user error may have been involved.
I also wish the male part were on the top lid for upside down grinding for vaping. I always load it on the lid, and it's really annoying to have to sweep away the stuff in the middle. Great build quality though, just some minor things that for my uses don't make it ideal (tho really I haven't been using too much flower after getting hyped on oils).

I did the same thing to my red 4 pc, I only use a 2pc now, but it was a big loss with my Alex at the same time. These pics are with my late Alexander James, we miss him so, and the red SCS, may they bothI am getting a bit frustrated with my SCS after having a big drop the other day. Threw off the smooth action, and the threads keep misaligning when I put it back together... I may have to designate this one for travel use and buy a second one in a few paychecks.

Uploaded a small album of SCS 3 piece gun metal pictures: http://imgur.com/a/3weae
Here's a mini-review,
-Great build quality
-Nice and light weight
-Small size makes loading on the female top lid difficult (have to clear out center before grinding)
-Would do black color next time. Gun metal in my warm lighting ends up looking gold
Overall a nice grinder but not quite what I'm looking for in terms of ease of use. I did end up buying this cheap nut chopper in my continuing quest for grinders.

For the top lid center section? Or why I removed the center of my 4 piece?
Top lid center - female here so the medicine gets mashed up against the male side unless cleared out before putting the grinder together for grinding
4 piece - Just wanted to make it lighter. Also didn't like the idea of losing kief to the 4th section when vaping, would rather just vape that kief in the bowl with the flowers.

Pretty much. I haven't been vaping much flower at all due to getting into oils but I think this would be nice for using directly with my wand. The nice bowl shape of the bottom would make it easy to vacuum up the ground flower. For me though it's a bit too hard to load.

When I say male side of a grinder I'm talking the smaller diameter lip that slides into the larger diameter lip not the center post. To avoid the center post just load your nugz to the sides instead of in the center.
I think I'll be picking up an scs 3 pc for my living room grinder in the near future.
