Turin SK40 Disassembly

[@mystikmeg]

Surprising lack of plastic. I have one on order and have heard lots of good things. Thanks for the great video.

[@janetstanland2015]

I am so very pleased I chose this grinder & I love it🥰

[@lcomfort8683]

I can't wait to get mine!

Hi, thank you for the video. Would you say the updated burrs produce a noticeable difference in the cup?

[@portakeeper]

Not sure noticeable. Slightly better yes. Thats why we ended up changing to them. Makes a bit less work to pre break the beans. Really a descent grinder for 200

[@BigPoppa-t3z]

I believe the sd40 looks to be the same except you really can dislodge it because you have to on sd40 undo two screws.

[@portakeeper]

Similar to SD40, has steeples worm gear adjustment, and updated burrs.

[@nickr9784]

Is the worm gear interchangeable with the SD40?

[@pachex158]

a variable speed mod would be the best this grinder could get

[@czaratejohn]

hi. would like to hear more about this. how do you mod a grinder?

[@pachex158]

@@czaratejohn hello, I have not done it yet but Im thinking bout putting a potentiometer so the voltage can be changed, I'm not sure if it would work but i will have to test it someday

[@czaratejohn]

What are the benefits of having variable speed?

[@pachex158]

@@czaratejohn lots of people say that grinding at faster speeds produce more fines, and the taste of the cup becomes more blended, on a slower speed the fines production is lower and the cup taste is more separated, I have not tried that comparison yet but there are some info that may back that theory

[@portakeeper]

Changing the voltage will increase current and burn out your motor. 100% not recommended or safe.

Any insight on how the value at 169 compares to the timemore 064s Kickstarter price of 330? Essentially double the price for intro flat burrs

[@portakeeper]

I don’t have a Timemore yet. I see Timemore as a drip coffee grinder. An improved Ode

Question about the worm gear. I saw, in passing, a few comments on reddit (r/espresso I think) where people were having an issue with the adjustment collar "walking" or drifting while grinding. Their solution to this was adding a washer to the worm gear. But is it possible they just didn't have it adjusted tight enough? Idk, it could have been drifting by a couple of microns for all I know. Or it was simply in their head and was a difference in puck prep. They didn't specify. Just curious, as someone who has taken it apart, if you feel that might be a cause for concern. Just curious because this grinder is at the top of my list. Though I was kind of waiting to see a specific review on it.

[@portakeeper]

Have not heard of this, mine has not walked.

[@krissanderson5004]

I can't imagine how a worm hear could drift. This should not be possible. A worm hear can't be turned by turning the mesh gear.

[@kitcraft9516]

I apricate the answer as I don't know much about that sort of thing. I hope it helps someone. I only mentioned it because I saw people talking about it in a few reddit threads and was curious. However, I already bought something else.@@krissanderson5004

[@nhayes927]

Mine doesnt move at all

[@renasdfghjkl2630]

My SK40 stopped working after 10 days of using it once a day for espresso. :(

How? Mine has the same issue
