OH SWEET! I never even considered "modding" the Vitamix. The grind I get is
really good, but a better and more consistent texture would be great. Was
there any problem with maintaining the balance of the blade? Did you just
use a standard workshop grinding wheel to sharpen the blades?
OK, I realize this is a bit off-topic... but HEY, it's in the name of better
chile powder!

I use almost the same method. To make the process faster I removed
the blades from the "dry" Vitamix canister and sharpened the blunt
edges to very sharp. You can adjust your final product to a very
fine powder to corse flakes by adjusting the speed, time and the
volume of peppers you grind at one time.
