Grinder

The Grinder is a low-level piece of technology powered by redstone. It is similar to IndustrialCraft 2's Macerator.

Crafting
M is Basic Machine Casing, G is Stone Gear, f is flint, _ is stone slab, and R is Redstone Power Module. This recipe makes one.

Powering
The Grinder works at different speeds depending on the intensity of redstone power it's receiving. At 15 and 14 power, it's at 100% speed. At 13 and 12, it's at 95% speed; at 11 and 10, it's at 88% speed; at 9 and 8, it's at 75% speed; at 7 and 6, it's at 50% speed; at 5 and 4, it's at 30% speed; at 3 and 2, it's at 15% speed; at 1, it's at 4% speed, and when not powered, it doesn't go.

Usage
The Grinder grinds things, when at full power, in the time it takes a furnace to smelt an item.
