Typically, a herb grinder is a cylindrical structure separated in two halves with sharp edged teeth or pegs. The teeth or blade in a herb grinder are arranged in such a way that when both the halves of grinder are turned, herb placed inside is frayed in an effective manner. However, there are some grinders which have more than two compartments, and have a fine screen that separated the bottom compartment from the top. These types of herb grinders block the larger plant material, allowing only the fine particles to pass through.

Further, there is a category of "four-stage" grinders, which is widely popular and has a second fine screen for better grinding. The latest in the category of herb-grinders are five- stage grinders, which are also used for making tobacco snuff.

Blades or teeth of herb grinders are made of strong metal and cut hard substances. If you have a herb grinder, you must keep one thing is mind and that is the cleaning aspect. As herbs have some quotient of medicinal properties, they tend to change their qualities and can react with the MOC-material of construction. You must not leave any leftover particles and wash the herb grinder using water or special cleaning substance. These days, there are some grinders available in the market, which have in-built cleaning system.
