This question has been asked many times in this thread and in the MFLB thread, you could do a search and come up with a lot of info. I actually read through this thread a few times and have also done the search the hard way... bought too many damn grinders. If you are looking for something bigger than the mini/micro grinders for your MFLB, I highly recommend the Volcano Herb Mill available at PlanetVape for only $7.49. It really works great and is definitely the best vaporizing purchase I made for under $10.

Someones always watching..
I received my 2" mendo mulcher a couple days ago..My initial reaction was whoa whoa..this grinder just gave me tiny whopper hands..true story. I was expecting something smaller coming from a nano like grinder and mflb finishing grinder...But its growing on me.Its solid aluminum and feels heavy.The magnet snaps loudly inplace everytime.I like the chamber inside,lots of room for the bud to move freely..I dont know that its the last griner Il ever need but its a solid piece that will earn its keep.

Just got our new SCS medium. Here it is, beside the other grinder. We are doing a comparison photo shoot:
SCS is a bit larger, both taller and wider.
The blade spacing is different. The feel of the SCS is nicer, too. Heftier. The magnetic seal is great! The blue grinder has a silicon ring to add slip to the grind, but there is almost nothing but friction holding it together - my husband tells me that there is a magnet, but it is way wimpy.
We used approximately the same size/weight/amount of GSC herb, and twisted them each the same amount of time. Wow, it's a bit amazing how different the result is. The blue grinder does actually grind. All those little crumbs and bits. The SCS sliced the herb into a really uniform state.
A look at the "pollen screen"... the SCS screen is noticeably finer, and the pollen catcher itself is shallower.
We are currently vaping the results (okay, most of it went back into the Cvault), and I anticipate that when I empty the NO2, the ABV will be very evenly vaked.
*** Conclusion ***
The SCS costs around $67 USD. The blue grinder cost us about $25. Yeah, it's a bit spendier, but I am seeing a serious improvement in the herb going into the vape, which I would guess would mean herb conservation, over time. Yes, the SCS is "worth it" in my opinion.
Vape on!

Yeah, The Santa Cruz Shredder Rocks!! i have a small and a medium 2 piece grinder and they are the best grinders I've ever had. Produces a nice fluffy grind that works very well in all of my vapes. none of that sawdust or lumpy grind you get with some other grinders.....

The consistency of the ground herb is primarily determined by the moisture content and/or stickiness. I can load dry herb in my santa cruz and it turns to powder if I grind enough. It powders to some extent even if I just give it the 'once over'.
The only grind I've ever gotten that could be called lumpy (from a wide variety of models/brands) is from two different Mendo Mulchers, and that was due to the tooth design (only two edges), which provides only a coarse grind. In fact, I can't even call the result of that design a 'grind'. It just slices through the bud that's directly in the path of the teeth, and spins after that.

max, good point on the dryness of the bud being a factor of final grind consistency . However, I still feel that tha SC Shredder does better with excessively dry bud than others such as Space Case. With very dry bud, I only turn one full revolution and the grind is pretty uniform, but as you stated "It powders to some extent".

haha.......We were the last house on our block to get a color TV.
My first computer was a black and white Mac Plus.
Guess that's the reason I dropped so much acid in my younger days. Just craved the colors, I guess.
That was my hardest choice. Guess that's reason to order another,
The mini 2 piece looks perfect for on the go, anyone have experience with one of them little guys?
I have the large charcoal grey two piece with the medical mark - shit is sick - its an incredible piece.

The more I use this limited edition "satin" finish 2 piece SCS, the more I think it is the perfect shredder for me. Max is right, the 2 piece is the way to go. With no anodized finish to chip or make problems, its also soft and warm to the touch 
A little grinder grease applied when the unit is clean helps keep it functioning smoothly. Not too many of these left, I just ordered another . . .
