I'm not sure, but it seems that the spacing between each blade may be too wide and the tiny little flaxseeds would just fall through. I've never tried to grind flaxseeds, but I went to youtube and found this video (and another one) that showed a coffee grinder doing a fine job.........check here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-XdpiZ2-S8

I tried grinding chia seed. It didn't do well. On a fine setting, the seed didn't go through, and stayed in the grinding burr. Any other settings, and the seed would fall through. I tried grinding the seed on several different settings, with no luck. I think it's too oily for this grinder. Chia is a lot smaller than flax, but they both have a lot of oil.

No, it won't grind seeds to a powder. I have never seen a hand grinder that would. Usually seeds just crack or break into pieces. For powdering seeds I would try a food processor or coffee grinder. Hope this helps.

No. That grinder is a piece of junk. Don't buy it. I purchased two different grinders under $20.00 and they both burned up within 10 grinds. I finally spent 30-35 dollars for one at Bed bath & beyond, and it works better. It was a cuisine art, I believe...

I have no idea. SorryI asked my husband and he said probably not. This is a great grinder though!!

In my experience...the answer would be NO...I tried to set this grinder to grind fine; if it's possible I sure couldn't figure out how to set this grinder on anything that would change it to grind salt crystals smaller at all..

It grinds the amount you want. I would NOT recommend buying this grinder. Mine lasted 9 months.....

I would say yes it will grind flax seed. It can make coffee beans in to a very fine grind for slow auto drip. It can make a cup, maybe a little more of ground product.

I do not know if it grinds poppy seeds, but I do know it works great on wheat berries, much better than my electric grinder. Being that it is a hand grinder, I would assume it would grind any and all seeds.

Yes - I use it exclusively for grinding flax seed. In fact, I find that this unit grinds the flax seeds into a finer powder than the "pre-ground" flax seed that you can buy at the store.

Sandra yes it can. I use for grinding mixed nuts that I keep in the firdge and add a tablespoon to my breakfast shake each morning. It is one of the best units I have found so far. Blades are very sharpe and the white blade unit pulls up and out for cleaning. It is not quite as fine as a hand grinder but I love it and use each week. M

I'd say the oils in the flax seed will probably gum up near the grinder and go rancid. You're probably better off buying a dedicated grinder/blender.

I would not recommend grinding anything besides coffee beans. Linseed will affect the mechanical components for future grinding of coffee beans along with oil residue. I would recommend the purchase of a separate spice grinder for such purposes.

Good question...I would say yes...though you would have to experiment with the setting to get the right grind.

I haven't tried. I am not sure but it might be worth a try. Many people use a coffee grinder for flaxseed (keep an extra for this unless you REALLY like coffee.)

You could, potentially, if you found it has the same size as the glass base; although you risk damaging both products. The great thing about having the grinder fitted tightly to the glass base is that you have a good grip while grinding.
