Hi,

Apple grinders can be pretty primative, with screw head or nails sticking out 
of a revolving wooden
axle.  These act as teeth, chewing up the fruit.  As long as the screws/nail 
heads clear the sides
of the grinder they work just fine.  Otherwise it is just an axke, couling 
and funnel for the
pummace.

Later,
tom
