I have the exact same problem as everyone else with the grinding bits for the Mini G. Also the Mini G platform wears down at the point where I hold the glass to grind which makes for an imperfect grind. I bought a new Mini G and the same thing happened. The plastic is too soft and creates a dip.

I have the same problem as the other people that have commented on this video about the bit unscrewing itself and wobbling out. So I emailed Techniglass about it on December 3rd. They replied on December 5th asking for some photos of my bits. I sent the pictures the same day. Haven't heard from them since. I emailed again on December 13th and again on December 27th. They never mentioned that this was a known issue in our correspondence. As a business owner myself (not glass related) I understand that issues can happen in the course of running your business, but it's how you handle them that really says alot about your business. Customer service is key. The threaded spindle won't even allow my 1/8" bit to screw down all the way. The 1/4" bit will but wobbles out. The threads on the bit are smooshed at the bottom. So it seems like because their bit doesn't stay in place, unscrews and wobbles out it damaged my threaded spindle. So now I can't even use the 1/8" bit if I wanted to. The way they designed the bits and how they get screwed in is faulty and caused additional damage to my grinder. And now they won't even reply to my emails. This is so disappointing because I use alot of their other products as well. I will update if they ever do reply to my emails.

I finally received a reply from Techniglass and they apologized for letting my emails fall through the cracks. After some correspondence back and forth, my issue with the small bits wobbling has been resolved. I am very happy with how my grinder is working now. I recently had a friend ask for a grinder recommendation and I didn’t hesitate to recommend “The Grinder”. Even with the issues I had with the smaller bits wobbling, this grinder is by far my favorite grinder.

@@AngelaLWeber I'm happy to hear that your issue was resolved. Since I have the wonderful Grinder 2 I'd like to know that they have reasonable customer service. What was the resolution? Is there anything I should know if I buy the MINI G?

[@AngelaLWeber]

@@oneofthesixbillion I purchased my grinder as a preorder before they came to the market. I'm assuming that they have fixed the issue I was having with the bit wobbling out with later runs of manufacturing the grinders. My new grinder is great. The bit doesn't wobble at all.

Just used the jewellery bits on the mini g this week. The smaller one unscrews itself off when grinding - most annoying. Can't you give us a fix for this or send us one that works! After all, we have paid good money for the mini g set up and the whole thing is no good if the bits do not work properly.

Hi! Where can one purchase the threaded bits for the mini g? I am having a heckuva time sourcing them!

[@dianeflowers3807]

why do you have to take it apart to add the smaller bit? can't you just unscrew the larger bit and screw in the smaller one?

[@twinklielights]

When I’m trying to use my mini G and jewelry bits the buts will screw themselves off when I’m trying to grind and I have to rescrew it back every 15 seconds or so, making it really difficult to get any work done. What can I do to prevent that? Or what can I do to fix it? That and having my 3/4” bit seize up when I’m trying to remove it have been giving me a lot of issues the past few months!

I am having the same problem. In the video it looks like his is loosing up too..
