Have either of you looked at how the Lift/Clipper works? There may be 4 blades but it is designed so only 1 blade is able to cut at a time & the blade looks at least 1mm thick. I get a funny feeling it will be the Lift 3 piece or the GR8TR 3 piece that will get me to spend money on a new grinder.

I use the gr8tr 4 piece as a 3 piece. With the 4 piece you get the extra shredding plate (coarse) which is good to have.

You can make the full size solid or clear body GR8TR into a compact 3pc GR8TR, you get two grinding plates with the full size solid or clear body GR8TR too.
The trick is finding the full size solid or clear body GR8TR on sale to where it almost costs close to what the 3pc GR8TR vape costs, that's how I bought my solid body GR8TR.
I haven't made my GR8TR into a 3pc yet, if I take it on a vacation or camping trip I'll make it a 3pc for portability when the time comes.
I really love my GR8TR, I still have love for my 3pc SCS too, my SCS now only gets used when my combustion buddies come around and roll joints, they like the fluffy grind the SCS gives.

Using as a 3 piece I find it easier to scoop the ground flower from the bottom metal container than from the kief screen plus I prefer my kief mixed with my bud rather than separated.

I'll try post pics later but there is no comparison..the gr8tr is fluff city..the scs 2 piece I have will grind almost as fluffy but it's not a quick process..I run it through a 4 piece then put it in my 2 piece..

Update "the clipper"
High Backers!
We want to bring you up to speed with everything that has been happening with production over the last few weeks.
There are a total of 15 parts that make up the Lift Innovations grinder, not including additional accessories and packaging. These parts include the aluminum body, stainless steel internal components, a magnet, and food-safe, friction-reducing, plastic pieces.
After testing the machining and anodizing quality of multiple different types of aluminum, we ordered 4500 lbs of the best stuff and got prepared to start machining as soon as it got in. We received our first batch of material only to find out that the wrong size was sent to us, which pushed us back about 3 weeks.
While we waited for the correct material to show up, we confirmed all other parts would be successfully fabricated in time for assembly and that our machines were set up and functioning.
We recently installed our vibratory tumbler, which will de-burr the stainless steel components and make them smooth and shiny. We have tested the machine and are perfecting it's process in our production line. We also received equipment to wash and sanitize all parts before assembling the grinder.
The correct size of aluminum has been successfully delivered and our machining partners commenced one more round of testing, making 100% sure that the finished product will be perfect. We recently made some slight, detailed improvements to the threads before starting to produce thousands. We also solved the inconsistencies in our anodizing so the finish will look better than ever!
We are still expecting to start shipping before the end of the month. The status of production is constantly changing, as one single factor can easily shift production ahead, or behind our expectations. We are making production decisions that will only improve the quality, whereas rushing the development process will only leave us cutting corners.
While we deal with all the challenges and hurdles we will make sure to update you each step of the way. I apologize for not sending out more frequent updates and have made it a goal to send out at least one a week.
Feel free to reply to this email if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer ASAP. We're in the process of hiring some positive, hard working people so we can answer your emails a lot faster. Thank you for your patience!
As always, we are grateful for your support and are excited to send you a product that you helped bring to life.

The 3" is a 3 piece and the 2" is a 4 piece with screen.

I wish SCS made a small 3-piece. Seems odd to me they make a small 4-piece, but not the 3. Seems like this would be a perfect little travel grinder.

So, I got my SLX a couple weeks ago, and had barely used it a day and the ceramic that was on the outer part of the top piece and the inner part of the middle piece started shedding off while grinding. It made a squeaking noise. After being able to look at it, it was noticeable that the ceramic was coming off. I inquired SLX about this, and they sent those two pieces back to me, free of charge, on 2-day priority. That was nice. However, this pair did the same exact thing. I was informed that it would not be a health concern and that it would not be a problem.
Couple weeks later, I still run a wet cotton swab on the affected areas (softly) to grab whatever ceramic wants to come off. I've started to furiously grind the pieces without any material inside so I could get most of the shedding out of they way, and get back to using it without a worry.
All in all, the grinder doesn't seem to be worth the asking price. This may change, though, since it has the potential to last a really long time. One last thought: The grind on it is perfect, and it seems the screen lets a bit too much through.

Hi guys!
Just wanted to pass by and tell you all I finally purchased a GR8TR... It's my first "good grinder" (read non-plasticky shitty grinder
) and I chose it because of all the good info you guys posted a while back about it... and I got to say I am reaally happy with it!!!! So thank you all!!! 
I've only run a couple g's thru it, but I gotta say I love the way it feels in hand, seems it will last a lifetime... and although my material is not very well cured, both grinder plates work great. I am using the coarser plate now, because of the extra humidity of my mj it's just a little bit faster to get all thru and my vaporgenie does a good job with it. I still got to try more thoroughly the finer plate, when I get a more suitable material
.
The kief catcher is working pretty nice too, but still haven't harvested it... Just saving it for the sad days
I got it from grasscity, they sent it to Spain really fast and without any shipping cost nor import fees, which I like
.
All in all, I think it's a great buy! So thanks for all the tips!
Peace!

That is interesting indeed. My SLX was cleaned thoroughly with Iso before use & whilst it does have small scratches/wear where the top & middle rub together they are outside the herb area so I am not concerned. I have put somewhere around 7-8oz through it since January & this feels like it is really made to last. I have cleaned it twice so far & the time between cleans is pretty fucking remarkable as is the grind. Hopefully your user experience improves but FWIW I use it daily & love it.

I don't think I have said anything in this thread for a while. Probably won't have much or anything to say for a while to come yet, either. All my grinders and vapes were taken from me during an illegal search executed only a couple hours after I broke my leg in half. I don't know how the break happened. I was just in front of my sink, and then my legs started sliding apart. Next thing I know I'm on the floor with a gruesomely broken leg.
For those of you familiar with my posts in this thread, I have decided to share this video, which I made a few hours ago (during which I talk about grinders a little bit). Thankfully underdog and underdogette were kind enough to replace the dog I had bought from them only a few weeks prior to my injury. I still have some grinders, but all my good ones were taken. Since I have to start over, maybe eventually I'll get a GR8TER. For now, though, I have to use a PIU grinder.

Yeah, I'm not concerned about it, either, because, as you said, it is outside the herb area. Just reportin'. After cleaning it a couple of times, less is coming off. BTW, my second set was 'shedding' much less than the first.
EDIT: Aimless Ryan, I just read about what happened. I'm so sorry that happened to you, and that you were abused in such a way.

Well that makes two of us that are unconcerned
. I tend to grind on a 45 degree angle these days to get a nice consistent grind for vaping & I am a fan of the 50/50 weight distribution between the top & the bottom 3 sections.

When the Facts Change, I Change My Mind.
Received my GR8TR Jar Grinder (window version) Saturday. Found it for $68 free shipping so it was a no brainer. Right off the bat I sliced my finger on one of the cutting teeth. Damn they are sharp.
I had pulled some bud out of a jar that was at 62% humidity and let it dry overnight. I broke it up into the GR8TR and made sure the little buds were arranged away from the magnet in the center. I used the fine grind blade. The coarse grind blade is stored in the top cap. The twisting during grinding is like gliding on ice. No effort whatsoever. The result was a really nice fluffy fine grind that the Volcano loved.
Granted this 4 piece is overkill as who needs four pieces? But you can break it down if you prefer a shorter version.
I highly recommend this unit.

That guy makes me look so unbelievably boring.
I'm still waiting for my gr8tr to arrive. It says it shipped but that was weeks ago and there hasn't even been a tracking update on the USPS site. I'm tempted to just order straight from Kannastor to avoid future issues with third party suppliers. If the original one arrives I will hold on to it for a gift to a friend.
You guys are making my space case sound pretty sad versus the GR8TR.
