Grinding increases the surface area of a solid so that it dissolves, reacts or releases its contents faster. Students use the mortar and press to powder copper sulphate crystals before dissolving them, crush chalk or marble chips for reaction-rate practicals, and grind leaves with a little solvent to extract pigments for paper chromatography.
Grind with a circular pressing motion rather than pounding, and fill the 80 mm bowl only partly so that material does not spill over the rim. Clean the set straight after use; grinding a pinch of clean sand in the bowl helps loosen stubborn residues before washing.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is the OEM for this porcelain mortar and press set, which is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Buying from the maker means replacement presses or extra mortars for a growing class can be requested from the same source; just ask us.

Grinding is usually one step in a longer practical; these items cover the steps before and after it:
