is there something less labor intensive but that gives similar results to a mortar and pestle?

im getting arthritis in my hands, so the useage of my M&P is getting painful, but i love how it works in creating guacamole, pesto, mayo, etc. the food processor just isnt the same. are there any known alternatives or do i have to give it up?

The only thing I can think of is a coffee grinder or a spice grinder. I just googled "electric mortar & pestle" and came up with this. Not sure if it would give you any better results than a spice grinder or food processor.
