Почему болгарку назвали болгаркой: «Почему УШМ называют «болгаркой»?» – Яндекс.Кью

Для каких целей используется болгарка и почему она получила такое название

Порой в процессе ремонта, в том числе и при укладке плитки, необходимо разрезать какой-то материал. При облицовке плиткой обычный плиткорез может не справиться со своей задачей, например, если необходимо сделать изогнутый отрез. В данной ситуации используется угловая шлифовальная машина (УШМ), как правильно называется болгарка. Рассмотрим в данной статье, почему УШМ получила такое странное название, а также ее устройство и основные сферы применения.

         Почему болгарка получила такое название

Итак, рассмотрим, почему болгарка называется болгаркой. В целом, называть ее таким образом некорректно. Более подходит именно термин угловая шлифовальная машина, который раскрывает основную суть конструкции и применения данного инструмента. Термин «болгарка» для нашего уха более привычен, ведь некоторые мастера-самоучки не всегда знают правильное название. Пришел в наш обиход данный термин еще в 70-х годах прошлого века. Обусловлено это тем, что именно в этот период в Советском Союзе появился данный инструмент, а выпущен он был в Болгарии. Название «болгарка» более короткое и понятное практически каждому, поэтому оно неофициально распространено больше.

         Рассмотрение того, что можно делать болгаркой

Итак, рассмотрим далее, для чего нужна болгарка. Как указывалось ранее, правильное название болгарки угловая шлифовальная машина. Из этого названия и вытекают две самых важных сферы применения инструмента.

Во-первых, болгарку используют там, где нужно отрезать что-то под углом, например, трубу, выходящую из стены. Также при помощи нее можно пропилить полосу в листе материала, где обычной ножовкой орудовать бывает довольно сложно.

Во-вторых, болгарка используется при шлифовании различных поверхностей. Для этого применяются специальные насадки, купить которые можно в любом строительном магазине. Следует понимать, что болгарка используется для грубой шлифовки поверхностей, так как на ней остаются полукруглые следы от насадки. Более тонкая шлифовка производится при помощи профессиональных шлифмашинок.

Также на болгарке можно производить заточку. Таким образом, можно подготавливать торцы труб перед нарезкой резьбы или подправить ее после отрезания, чтобы муфта или гайка накручивались легче.

Также при помощи болгарки производится обрезка плитки перед ее укладкой. При этом работа должна производиться в маске и очках для защиты от пыли. Обрезка производится при помощи специального отрезного круга с алмазным напылением. Следует помнить, что при помощи болгарки можно сделать не только прямой отрез, но и изогнутый.

         Основные составляющие болгарки

У различных производителей устройство болгарки может различаться, поэтому рассмотрим лишь основные ее компоненты. Это позволит понять, на что следует обращать внимание при выборе данного инструмента, а также выявить неисправность в случае поломки.

Основные составляющие:

• корпус болгарки. Выполняется он из ударопрочного пластика и предназначен для удержания всех скомпонованных в нем элементов на своих местах. Также при помощи корпуса передается усилие оператора на оснастку;
• редуктор. Состоит он из шестерней, при помощи которых ось вращения проворачивается на 90 градусов. Также шестерни позволяют снизить до оптимального количество оборотов;
• электродвигатель. Он находится в корпусе инструмента и предназначен для приведения в движение ведущую шестерню редуктора, от которой передается вращающий момент на ведомую. На оси большой ведомой шестерни находится диск;
• электроника, к которой могут быть отнесены различные системы плавного пуска, кнопки запуска, поддержания оборотов и т.д.

Таким образом, мы узнали, как правильно называется болгарка, а также для каких целей она применяется и из каких основных узлов состоит.

90000 A Simple Angle Grinder Buying Guide 90001 90002 Ask any workshop guy about grinders, and what usually comes to their mind is the handheld angle grinder – a versatile tool that’s easy to use for a wide variety of cutting, sanding and shaping applications. 90003 90002 If you’re working with wood, metal or stone, there’s an angle grinder wheel that will make your life much easier and are considered “an essential tool” in a metalworker’s tool bag. 90003 90002 90007 Safety Is Crucial With Angle Grinders: 90008 Angle grinders are powerful tools for their size, though, with discs that spin as quickly as 8,000 RPM.Always make sure you have eye protection when using one, since using one will always send debris, sparks, and fragments flying out at a high speed. 90003 90002 Angle grinders have guards for a reason, and working without it is generally not recommended. Safety is a priority when using an angle grinder – make sure to invest in hearing and eye protection. 90003 90012 Angle Grinders vs. Straight Or Die Grinders 90013 90002 There are a couple of different grinders out there and comparing the three main types will help give you a better overall idea of ​​what angle grinders are and why they are usually preferred over the other two types.90003 90002 90007 Angle Grinders: 90008 Are so called for the 90-degree angle that the gear head and the attached disc makes when held in your hand. Most likely, this term has come up to distinguish them from the straight grinder, which takes discs and wheels right on the end of the tool. 90003 90020 90002 makita.com 90003 90002 90007 Straight Grinders: 90008 Straight grinders have the wheel in a 90 degree angle (compared to an angle grinder) which makes it useful for grinding the outer edges of pieces and inner parts of pieces when a different grinding stone is attached.The angle makes it useful for different projects where an angle grinder may be a little tough to use. 90003 90027 90002 boschtools.com 90003 90002 90007 Die Grinders: 90008 Die grinders work much the same way that a straight grinder does, but instead of abrasive discs, they take dies that work much like a drill bit in action. Usually the abrasives used are smaller in size to get into tighter areas and are great for deburring rough metal edges. 90003 90034 90002 boschtools.com 90003 90012 What Can I Use An Angle Grinder For? 90013 90002 Angle grinders were originally designed for abrasive discs, but their versatility and popularity have encouraged manufacturers to adapt them for a wide range of other uses, as well.90003 90012 Choosing The Right Angle Grinder 90013 90002 Angle grinders are relatively inexpensive tools, and at first glance, they all look very similar to one another that there is a temptation to just go with the first cheap one you can find and get right to work . 90003 90002 Despite the many similarities of angle grinder brands, however, you also have to consider that most of the work you will do with the angle grinder requires you to run it for extended amounts of time. 90003 90002 Unlike, say a drill where you use it to place your hole and fastener and you’re done, using an angle grinder means making several passes on your workpiece with a small handheld tool – and often for hours at a time.90003 90002 Durability is important in choosing an angle grinder, so make sure you are getting the right size of angle grinder with the right amount of power suitable for your project. 90003 90051 90012 Small Angle Grinders: 90013 90002 Generally, a small angle grinder is a unit that takes discs of sizes seven inches or less. They are useful for a wide variety of cutting and grinding applications, especially when portability and maneuverability are important. 90003 90002 These are the most common types of angle grinders that are used today.The two most popular sizes are a 4 “or 4 1/2” grinder. 90003 90002 They typically measure just a bit over 12 inches long at the most and have the widest range of options when it comes to power sources. These can be found in electric versions (corded), cordless versions and pneumatic (compressed air) versions. 90003 90002 Small angle grinders can take wheel diameters of up to 7 inches, with the smallest units able to take just the 3-inch discs, for more detailed work. 90003 90002 90007 Features To Look For In Smaller Angle Grinders: 90008 90003 90066 90067 Brushless motors on angle grinders take out the need for brush changes, and they let the cordless models run more efficiently, cooler and prolong the motor life of the tool.90068 90067 Kickback brakes stop the wheel dead in its track when the tool senses that a bind has happened, stopping the tool from wrenching itself free of your grip. 90068 90067 Two-stage triggers require you to flip a safety switch off first before the trigger can start the tool, lowering the risk of accidental starts especially when you are changing discs. 90068 90067 Vibration control helps to keep your hand from going numb and eases the uncomfortable feeling of the tool, especially if you are using it for longer periods of time.90068 90067 Variable speed lets you control the disc speed with the trigger, letting you ease off in case of heat buildup or go slow with the polishing disc. 90068 90077 90012 Corded, Cordless And Pneumatic Angle Grinders 90013 90002 90007 Corded Angle Grinders: 90008 Corded angle grinders are those that need to be plugged into a power outlet before they can work. Their advantage is clear – indefinite running time and consistent power whenever you need it. They are also more lightweight as well compared to the cordless models and are generally more inexpensive to own.90003 90002 Of course, you have to be within range of a suitable outlet if you are to use a corded angle grinder and there is also the slight risk of you sawing into the power cord by accident, as well. 90003 90002 90007 Cordless Angle Grinders: 90008 Cordless, or battery-powered angle grinders, take their power supply with them. For onsite jobs that require you to use a grinder up a ladder or on scaffolding, a cordless grinder can be incredibly handy to have. With modern brushless electric motors and lithium-ion batteries, they last for a good amount of time between recharges, as well.90003 90002 Like most cordless models, though, quick-charge technology has only come so far in minimizing the downtime when charging up your tool. Expect at least half an hour to get a decent charge on a drained 6 Ah battery. They also weigh at least two pounds more than the equivalent corded small angle grinder. 90003 90002 90007 Pneumatic Angle Grinders: 90008 Pneumatic angle grinders take the idea of ​​the corded electric angle grinder to a whole new level. They need to be plugged into a suitable air compressor unit in order to function, but once you do, they are the lightest angle grinders you can have.With no batteries and no electric motors, the action is all powered by air pressure. 90003 90002 They are also some of the cheapest angle grinders you can get, too – after you invest in a proper air compressor unit, that is. 90003.90000 Brilliant Cut Grinder | FC Vaporizer Review Forum 90001 90002 90003 90004 90005 The Diamond Cut Grinder 90006 90007 90008 90009 90010 Disclaimer: I found this company on InstaGram a while ago and thought the grinder was very innovative. It has not been seen by anyone on FC, so I took the initiative to contact the manufacturer about the grinder. We chatted on IG and I shared my thoughts on available grinders and what I thought was missing from grinders. 90010 The grinders were provided free of charge and a review with pictures was the price! And to keep using them and see how they fair with a lot of grinding.90010 Okay, now that is out of the way we can talk about the Diamond Cut Grinder !!! 90002 This is a fairly new company from British Columbia and they are just entering the grinder game! 90010 To start with, they will be offering two different types of grinders, both 3 piece: 90010 A medium grind and a fine grind. 90010 A 4 piece is in the works as well due to the fact that some people love collecting kief. 90009 90002 Materials used are: 90010 7075 T651 Aluminum 90010 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7075_aluminium_alloy 90010 This is an expensive AL alloy that has strength comparable to many steels.90010 Mostly used in the aircraft industry. 90009 90002 From the outside both grinders are identical, they both have 3 parts and the top and bottom of the grinders have a very nice milled pattern. There is no Knurling around the outside but I do not find that they require this. 90010 Their action is extremely smooth and I have had no issues with grinding any type of bud. 90010 The grinder utilizes 3 different styles of teeth !! Never sen this variety in one grinder! 90010 4 sided teeth, 5 sided and 6 sided teeth! 90010 There is even a very sharp cutting tooth located in the middle, so even if you get some herb where the magnet is, it will slice it up without any issue! 90009 90002 I have owned the two grinders for just over a week and they have taken the place of my all time favorite grinder, the KannaStor Vape GR8TR.90010 The holes are big enough for all the material to fall through without blocking them and the grind is still fine enough for my liking. It is somewhere between the New Vape Fine Grinder and the Vape GR8TR. 90009 90002 The grinders weigh in at around 150 to 155g and look a lot heavier than they actually are. 90010 The top part has a lot of weight to it, the middle section is feather light and the bottom section is slightly heavier than the middle part. The lower herb chamber is beautifully milled with a rounded bottom for easy emptying.90009 90002 the locking mechanism is very unique and I have never seen it used on a grinder before. It reminds me of how some blenders connect for a secure high torque coupling! 90009 90002 Loading the grinder requires the bud to be broken into smaller bits to fit between the teeth. 90010 The lid slides into the herb with ease and grinding is very easy. You can easily tell when you are done when all the friction disappears! 90010 You can use the old trick of grinding upside down for a finer grind on both grinders as well.90010 The grind is nice and fluffy and does not stick together as my GR8TR grind does. 90010 This also means better airflow through the load and less restriction from the herb compacting during an inhale. 90009 90002 So far I have had no issues at all when using this grinder. It has ground any type of herb that I have on hand, rock hard nugs to softer, sticky nugs all ground with ease. 90009 90002 The Beautiful 3 piece Diamond Cut Grinders! 90010 90009 90002 Opening the grinders for the first time.Fine grind on the left, medium on the right. 90010 Look at those teeth !!! Note center pin tooth as well. 90010 90009 90002 In all their glory! Note the fantastic finish, bevels on the bottom of the middle plates holes and the unique locking mechanism! 90010 90009 90002 Close up of the different tooth designs. The spacer ring is also visible and it provides a silky smooth grind. 90010 90009 90002 Close up of the amazingly light center section.The teeth are designed to cut everywhere! Around the center post, where the magnet is and even around the sides of the grinder! 90010 90009 90002 The underside of the middle section is another work of art! 3 solid pins lock onto the bottom section can be seen. The bevels aid in the herb falling straight through. Very nice engraving and amazing surface finish! 90010 90009 90002 The lower section with rounded sides and the other part of the locking mechanism.Extremely easy to engage and does not move at all during grinding. 90010 90009 90002 And now for some usage shots! I do not grind a lot at a time, so this is a true test for a 3 piece grinder! 90010 The more you load the easier it is to grind and force through to the collection chamber. Grinding small amount really tests the whole system imo. 90009 90002 First up is the Diamond Cut Grinder Fine: 90010 Loaded up with 0,5g 90010 90009 90002 ± 10 easy 1/4 turns 90010 90009 90002 And the bountiful harvest! 90010 90009 90002 The Diamond Cut Grinder Medium: 90010 Again a small load of little nugs.90010 90009 90002 A nice medium grind! 90010 You can still see the glands on the herb and not a pile of kief! 90010 90009 .90000 9 Reasons Rob Lowe and ‘The Grinder’ Should Keep Grinding Into Season 2 90001 90002 90003 90004 90005 When “The Grinder” made its debut in late September 2015 року, it was pretty clear something special was happening. But given only one episode to screen before the premiere, we here at Indiewire could not give our full-fledged endorsement – simply because there was not enough evidence to make a judgment. Great pilots do not always lead to great series, just as shoddy pilots often can. But now that we’re 18 episodes in, it’s become abundantly clear that “The Grinder” is one of television’s best comedies.90006 90002 Buoyed by Rob Lowe’s vigorous energy and admirably inventive in its constructs, “The Grinder” has smoothly transitioned from a semi-episodic burst of meta humor to a witty and gripping ongoing grind. So, as we patiently await a return to the grind (Episode 19, “A System on Trial,” will air April 12), let’s go over the reasons why Fox needs to renew this freshman comedy right quick. After all, shows this special do not come along all that often, even in the golden age of TV. The grind is hard, but this Grinder makes it look easy.So let’s #KeepGrinding. 90006 90002 READ MORE: Rob Lowe on ‘The Grinder,’ Breaking Into the Cool Comedian Cliques and Why He Literally Will not Say ‘Literally’ 90006 90011 9. Anatomy of a Grinder 90012 90002 Courtroom dramas have been around for ages, stocking up a backlog of entries rich for skewering. Enter “The Grinder.” There was never any doubt that the Fox comedy would take some of TV’s oldest cliches to task, but how long it could keep it up without forcing the issues or overcomplicating the core story was a concern.Yet the series ‘ability to find new cliches to skewer each week – in the fake courtroom and beyond – is frankly remarkable, as “The Grinder” has gone after everything from how lawyers are not detectives to episodic v. serialized story structure – and that’s just in one episode ( “The Olyphant in the Room”). Plus, it’s shown no signs of slowing down. In fact, it’s only become more lethal as it goes further and further down the serialized path. Seeing how long they can keep it up would be an enticing reason to renew by itself, but I’m starting to think there’s no limit to this group’s creative spirit.90006 90011 8. Rob Lowe is Emmy Bound (Or Better Be) 90012 90002 A six-time Golden Globe nominee with an Emmy nod for “The West Wing” under his belt, Fox knew who they were getting when they signed the well-loved and highly respected Rob Lowe to a series this adventurous. “The Grinder” is no traditional sitcom, so it would need to win over the critics (check) and voters for it to become must-see TV. So far so good, as not only are the media elite enthralled, but Lowe snagged a key Golden Globe nomination in a competitive field to kick off 2016.Now Emmys season is upon us, and the TV Academy better be paying attention to a performance both outrageous and real. Dean’s tether to the Earth is controlled expertly by Lowe, letting him drift to hilarious heights but always finding his footing when it counts. It’s a precise comedic turn, and one worthy of accolades. Fox needs to throw its support behind the deserving Lowe, both in actual campaigning and by showing faith with a renewal order. 90006 90011 7. But Do not Slouch on the Rest of the Cast 90012 90002 As the season has developed, Lowe is not the only actor who’s been given a chance to stretch his range.In what virtually amounted to a body swap comedy, “Delusions of Grinder” found Fred Savage’s Stewart taking over in the dramatics department for his brother. Usually the “simple law” man, Savage seemed to relish the opportunity of taking his character to a new extreme, just as Mary Elizabeth Ellis has thrived when Debbie is given a little extra to work with; like when Dean invited his body double to stay with them (and Deb took advantage) or when she started volunteering at the office (and had to figure out how to talk to Stewart all over again).The kids – Hana Hayes and Conor Kalopsis – have also established their own identities (Ethan’s refined mimicry of Dean is particularly impressive), and William Devane continues to charm as a father who idolizes his son, rather than the other way around. The Grinder is just one guy, but “The Grinder” is certainly a team effort. 90006 90011 6. And the Guest Stars! Oh, My, the Guest Stars! 90012 90002 90026 90026 In “The Grinder” showrunner Ben Wexler’s previous (brilliant) series, “The Comedians,” there’s an entire episode devoted to why reaching out for a guest star early in a show’s run is a lazy and self-defeating practice.When Billy Crystal (played by Billy Crystal) goes to visit Mel Brooks (played by Mel Brooks) to ask him about being a guest star on Billy’s fake television show (on Billy’s real television show), Brooks tells him, “Gimmicks do not work. Gimmicks never work. […] Believing in yourself, being true to yourself, is called integrity. A guest star would just get in the way. ” 90006 90002 The joke, of course, is that when incorporated well – like Brooks was in that episode – guest stars can boost a series at any time.They can not steal focus or disrupt the flow of the established story, but, otherwise, they’re hugely helpful because they’re stars. And they’re stars because they have talent. And talent wins out. Just look at this list of guest stars who’ve already appeared on Season 1 of “The Grinder”: We’ve got Timothy Olyphant, Maya Rudolph, Jason Alexander, Christina Applegate, Jimmy Kimmel, Nat Faxon and Jenna Fischer, just to name a few. That’s seven guest stars in 18 episodes. Two more, and you’ve got one in every other half-hour block, and I’ll be damned if any of them did anything but add to the majesty of the proceedings with their unobtrusive and very, very funny performances.Mel Brooks would be proud. 90006 90011 5. Dean Sr.’s Storyline Has Changed the Grind (Again) 90012 90002 90034 90034 When the news broke at the end of Episode 14, “The Retooling of Dean Sanderson,” that the father / son (s) law firm was being hit with a malpractice suit targeted at Papa Sanderson, I doubt many anticipated what was to come: one of the longest-running serialized sitcom plots in recent memory. It may actually feel longer than it is, given that it began just after the series ‘other multi-episode arc came to an end with Timothy Olyphant leaving town, but it still marked a shift from what was largely episodic storytelling to a sitcom that’s becoming strictly serialized.What’s interesting about these two storylines is how one started with perhaps the show’s biggest guest star (Olyphant) and the other is grounded firmly in the main characters; almost as if fans were meant to be lured in by the appeal of a big name, stick around for all his episodes, and then, hopefully, be hooked enough to keep watching after he leaves. 90006 90002 Think I’m crazy? Well, that may be, but “The Grinder” did feature one key exchange during Olyphant’s arc – between Dean Jr., Dean Sr., Ethan and Stewart, while watching “The Grinder,” of course – pointing to just how self-aware its decision-making has become: 90006 90002 90040 90041 Stewart: 90042 90043 90041 “Should not an audience be able to join a show at any time?” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Dean: 90042 90043 90041 “At any time.” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Dean Sr .: 90042 90043 90041 “Period.” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Stewart: 90042 90043 90041 “Okay, so how would they even know that he’s a lawyer?” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Dean: 90042 90043 90041 “What am I supposed to do, enter every scene and say, ‘I’m Mitch and I’m a lawyer, and I’ll stop at nothing to grind for justice’?” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Stewart: 90042 90043 90041 “No, not every scene, and not in that voice …” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Dean: 90042 90043 90041 “Can you imagine if I walked around saying, ‘Oh, I’m Dean and I used to play a lawyer on television, but now I live in Boise and I live with my brother ‘? ” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Stewart: 90042 90043 90041 “Oh, you live here now?” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Dean: 90042 90043 90041 “I’m just saying: It’s bad writing.”90042 90005 90040 90041 Ethan: 90042 90043 90041″ I do not want to be spoonfed. ” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Dean Sr .: 90042 90043 90041 “If you’re not following something, feel free to watch the earlier episodes 90042 90041 any time 90042 90041 you want.” 90042 90005 90040 90041 Dean: 90042 90043 90041 “It’s not too late for you, Stu. You can catch up. ” 90042 90006 90002 Olyphant’s arc lasted about five episodes, and now the malpractice suit facing Dean Sanderson Sr. (Devane) has hit that total with no signs of stopping.Through this plot, the writers have taken us to many refreshingly unexpected places – including Dean Jr. abandoning “the grind” and Stewart becoming as dramatically manipulative as Dean once was – but the fact it’s lasted so long already, and could reach through to the season finale, is just one more example of how “The Grinder” can successfully experiment with genre , expectations and structure. 90006 90011 4. A Better, “Modern” Family 90012 90002 90133 90133 What defines a show as “family friendly” is a bit of a sliding scale, considering parents need to individually choose what’s acceptable viewing for kids, but in a time when sexual innuendos are an accepted part of day-to-day life – or at least nightly TV – “The Grinder” is refreshingly wholesome.That’s not to say it lacks an edge, as its meta humor provides a layer of sophisticated comedy set primarily for an older audience. Yet the TV-PG series still feels like the family comedy of the modern era. 90006 90002 Shot in single-cam style without the addition of a laugh track, “The Grinder” focuses on familial obligations and pillars as Dean grows from a man embedded in a character to his true self as an uncle and brother. His status as a role model for Deb and Stewart’s kids has come up multiple times, for better (Lizzie and Ethan’s dating lives) and worse (their struggles when Dean moves out), and the importance of brotherly love is an overarching theme revisited in a variety of ways.Jokes land whether they hold another meaning or not, making the show ideal fodder for everyone without either age demographic feeling stiffed. 90006 90011 3. Grind Into the Future 90012 90002 Fox is not necessarily known for embracing the future of television in terms of making their series readily available for bingeing, but they actually deserve more credit here than they’re getting. For instance, all four of its Tuesday night comedies are available for streaming the next day on Hulu (as are many, if not all, of its other shows), and you can actually watch the newest seasons of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Grandfathered” and “The Grinder” in their entirety on the service.(Seriously, you guys, get a Hulu subscription if you do not already have one. I promise, I am not being paid to say this. I just love it that much.) 90006 90002 This plays to a huge advantage for most modern comedies, but particularly for “The Grinder.” Its rhythms are best appreciated in large doses, and its just-a-notch-north-of-the-real world is not one you want to leave quickly. Plus, with the serialized structure implemented mid-season, it’s actually important you catch up on any episodes you miss.While you’re there, go ahead and rerun through the ones you’ve seen, too. It could use the ratings boost. 90006 90011 2. A Three-Dimensional Grinder 90012 90002 One of the biggest question marks after the pilot episode was sustainability – whether or not a premise based around an ex-actor who still 90041 acts 90042 all the time would grow tired or repetitious too quickly. And while the strong ensemble certainly helped alleviate some of the burden placed on Lowe’s central character – the source of most of the show’s humor – it was clear Dean needed to be more than a joke to everyone around him.He could not just be an out-of-place Hollywood caricature to be hemmed and hawed at while pretending to be a real lawyer at a real firm in a real Idaho community. He needed to be a real human being. He needed to be believable. 90006 90002 And 18 episodes in, he’s exactly that. While Dean maintains the exaggerated nature of a drama addict – a nature he hilariously tried to kick through therapy, but instead proved to himself and to the audience why we all need his drama – we’ve watched as his outer shell is peeled back just enough for us to see the real man inside.Credit to Lowe for knowing exactly when to let us in and when to keep up the persona, but the writing staff seems to have an uncanny handle on this character already. Even as the format has shifted throughout this first season, The Grinder himself has remained rock steady; his arc smooth and well-plotted. Rather than worry for the future, fans now can rest assured there’s nothing but good to look forward to – assuming there’s more to come. 90006 90011 1.

The reason? Static cling. Coffee grinder static is such an annoying hassle of big flecks of coffee dust. 90003 90004 Coffee Grinder Static Cling: What’s Happening? 90005 90006 90002 The root cause of the little-flecks-everywhere coffee static issue is electricity. When the beans are ground against the metal burrs (though I think even ceramic would do this) they pick up a little electric charge.Obviously the little amount of static electricity on this ground coffee is not enough to shock you or endanger the electric appliance. 90003 90002 Instead, it’s just enough to annoy you. When you pull out your “ground coffee chamber” and find your counter, floor, etc sprayed with a fine mist of static-y dust. And or when you go to empty your (usually) plastic grounds-holder and leave behind a solid 1-2% of your coffee weight as it clings to the side of the chamber. 90003 90002 Some coffee grinders do have a metal chamber, and I’ve heard that helps.Metal is much more effective at conducting electricity and less likely to “insulate” the bits of ground and so prevent them from keeping their charge. It’s rare, and I’ve not experienced them enough to know how helpful a metal grounds chamber is. But I know that our plastic bin does not help. 90012 90003 90004 Is There a Mess-Free Coffee Grinder? 90005 90016 Clear evidence of the coffee grinder static I’ve experienced first hand. 90002 Perhaps, as I was when we first got our Baratza Encore, you’re even thinking about a new grinder to get rid of this static coffee cling issue.I’ll caution that it seems a common enough issue across grinders, that it’s not simply about your grinder. I mentioned this issue in my Baratza Encore review because the Baratza Encore static is real. 90003 90002 As mentioned above, a metal grounds chamber would likely help. I do not know off hand of any grinders available in North America that have a metal grounds chamber. I’m sure one exists. The one I know of worldwide is from Wilfa, but it is not available here, and I do not speak any Scandinavian language well enough to navigate their (non-English) sites to find it.90003 90004 Getting Rid of Static in a Coffee Grinder 90005 90023 Lightning rods are metal for a reason: static electricity’s natural rival. 90002 Desire a coffee grinder static fix? Well, we’ve got good news and bad news. In short, 90025 there’s no single solution for your coffee grinder static electricity 90026 woes. Especially well after a grinder has been designed and built by its manufacturer. A lot of things could help. 90003 90002 First: it’s generally well know that more humid or wet environments are less likely to get static cling (not to mention door know shocks and other electric hi-jinks) than dry ones.90003 90002 So, you could move to Florida from the semi-arid Colorado or Arizona you call home. 90003 90002 More practically, you can wait. In all environments, this sort of static build up naturally dissipates with time. That’s partly because of the second law of thermodynamics and partly for more mundane reasons. Even our Baratza Encore static wanes over time. 90003 90002 There are also suggestions you can find about 90035 introducing more metal to your coffee grinding system 90036.I find this one a mixed bag. But before I go to far, I want to do that “one weird trick” thing. So here’s one weird trick to get rid of static electricity when you grind coffee … 90003 90004 One Way to Eliminate Coffee Ground Static: Water Trick 90005 90002 I’m a bit of YouTube fanatic. And it was actually one of my favorite Coffee YouTubers that spurred this little exploration. Here’s coffee-man extraordinaire James Hoffman: 90003 90002 90043 90044 90003 90002 For the readers among you, a short summary of James Hoffman’s no-more-static coffee solution: 90003 90048 90049 90025 Measure out your beans as normal.90026 (This technique works better if it’s a single-brew’s load of coffee beans, vs a full roughly 8oz hopper.) 90052 90049 90025 Wet a spoon handle. 90026 No need to be a big or fancy spoon. The spoon James uses is smaller than a teaspoon. 90052 90049 90025 Stir your measured beans with the just-wet spoon handle. 90026 90052 90049 90025 Grind 90026 your ever-so-slightly-wet beans as normal. 90052 90065 90002 The video even features some video testimony to the technique’s effectiveness.With a before-and-after shot (started 53 seconds in), I think it’s a pretty compelling case. And James says nothing (because nothing needs to be said) about whether or not this scant bit of water will harm your grinder or coffee. Because it will not. 90003 90004 But Do Any Anti-static Coffee Tips Work? 90005 90070 90002 Before I get too hyped on this coffee grinder static cling, I did some research. There are a few brands in and around cooking and kitchen things I revere. Cook Illustrated (and their associated brands of America’s Test Kitchen and Cook’s Country) is one of them.So when I found their article on this topic I was intrigued. Unfortunately, their article is pretty down on many internet solutions to coffe grinder static cling. In summary, 90025 they say none of these coffee static-fighting methods work: 90026 90003 90075 90049 90025 “A few drops of water.” 90026 One could debate if the technique above is identical to this named one. But they say it does not work. 90052 90049 90025 Lining aluminum foil into your plastic grind-collector. 90026 They say it’s a hassle and does nothing.90052 90049 “90025 Stirring the ground coffee with a metal fork to” gather “the electricity before lifting the lid. 90026 We found that a fork certainly gathered the static-as well as an abundance of the ground coffee with it. ” 90052 90049 Running a copper wire around your grinder. They skipped this, for understandable reasons. I do not want to drill my grinder. 90052 90090 90002 Their conclusion about burr coffee grinder static electricity is intriguing though. (Emphasis mine.) 90003 90093 90002 “In the end, the best solution was the simplest: 90025 Give the static time to dissipate on its own.For medium-grind coffee (appropriate for a regular drip coffee maker), grind the coffee, wait for 5 minutes 90026, and then remove the grind chamber from the machine. Rap the chamber firmly on the counter before opening the lid to send any stray grinds to the bottom of the container with the others. For finer grinds like espresso, add a few minutes to the waiting period; for coarser grinds for a French press, subtract a few minutes. ” 90003 90098 Minimizing Static in Burr Grinders, Cooks Illustrated 90099 90100 90002 Since my first experiences with our Baratza Encore, I’ve tried to use the time technique.And the “whack the grinder” one. Both definitely help dislodge grounds that might otherwise stick to the side of the chamber, or in the grinder chute itself. I recommend both techniques. 90003 90004 My Personal Experience Fighting Coffee Grinder Static 90005 90002 Despite my concern following the skepticism about water-based coffee-static management methods, 90035 I just went (while writing this article) and gave the “wet spoon handle” technique a try. 90036 I also did my customary whacks and wait (mentioned just above).And I’m happy to report: that was the cleanest grind from the Baratza Encore I’ve had in a while. 90003 90002 Now, I’ll admit that one try was not a rigorous scientific investigation. But I certainly think it is good enough to add it to my list of recommendations. Here’s what I think you should do if you’re getting sad about the amount of coffee-grinder static in your life: 90003 90048 90049 90025 Do the wet spoon trick. 90026 (Details in numbered list above) 90052 90049 90025 Wait after you grind the coffee 90026, for a minimum of sixty seconds, and up to 5-10 minutes.(I often do not have the patience for this. When I do it seems to help.) 90052 90049 90025 Tap the grinder 90026 and the chamber before you remove your grounds-chamber from the grinder. Partly this works because you dislodge stuff that just did not move down all the way, but also the physical taps can overcome some static. 90052 90049 90025 Check out the Ross droplet technique 90026? We have yet to confirm this strategy for its effectiveness, but the internet seem to love it. See below 90052 90065 90129 90044 90004 Which burr grinders have static problems? Most of them.90005 90002 I hope that this article made you feel a little less alone in your struggle to combat coffee grinder static. It afflicts thousands (if not millions) world wide, and a permanent solution still has not been found. But some of these techniques to make it less of a hassle really do work. Good luck! And if you’ve got other techniques or experiences, I’d love to hear them in the comments 🙂 Happy grinding! 90012 90003 .
