Grinds into small pieces (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grates

(Other definitions for grates that I've seen before include "Makes harsh noise by rubbing - on nerves?" , "Makes rasping sound, hard on ear" , "Rasps or irritates" , "Rubs harshly against, perhaps on nerves" , "Makes harsh sound by rubbing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
