Can I use a food processor instead of a spice grinder?

I grow a lot of peppers. Two years ago I began dehydrating peppers and making powder out of them. I would make a jalapeno powder, a cayenne pepper powder, and a habanero powder.

Grow -> pick -> slice up appropriately -> dehydrator -> spice grinder -> sealed shaker stored on the top shelf of my fridge.

My spice grinder died a horrific death the other day.

I have a conventional Cuisinart food processor and a small 3.5 cup KitchenAid mini food processor. It's "Majestic Yellow", in case anyone's interested. Can I use either of these to pulverize the dehydrated peppers into a consistent powder or do I really need to replace my spice grinder?

I'm concerned about grinding the dehydrated peppers evenly with a good grind consistency.

Also, if I should replace it, what spice grinder should I buy?
