I've seen nut choppers at the grocery stores and WalMart, Target,
etc. It's a jar shaped somewhat like an hour glass with a hand
crank. The nuts go in one side and they are chopped, usually has
measurements on the jar. If they are not chopped fine enough you turn
the jar over and give the crank a few more turns to make your pieces
smaller.

I gave one of those to my mom years ago. It won't do
what the Dan asked for. It will cut the nuts into crumbs.
I don't believe any nut chopper will deliver the large
and uniform particle size he wants. There are just some
things you have to do by hand, if you are aspiring to a
high quality level.

Yeah, I realized that after I more or less told him the same thing as
Joan... :-)
