The Woodcut Tools Mill Drill has been designed by turners, for turners. Designed to make the production of pepper grinders that utilize the CrushGrind® Shaft mechanism and the CrushGrind® Shaft Mini mechanism.
A 1" hole is drilled in the pepper mill blank and then the Mill Drill is used to enlarge the hole and cut a step for the mechanism. It drills the two different diameter holes, to the correct diameter and distance apart so the mechanism fits exactly; a 1 1/2" diameter hole for the body of the mechanism and, finally a larger 1 3/4" hole which allows the mechanism to rest against a shoulder at a depth from the base of the mill of your choice, giving ample clearance for access to the knurled knob at the base of the CrushGrind mechanism. An Allen key is supplied and with either a set of Vernier callipers or an accurate rule, the cutters can be set to the correct orientation and distances required.
It is a versatile tool and with some adjustment to the cutters it can be used to cut a wide range of hole sizes making it unnecessary to buy a number of drill bits.
Your Mill Drill will arrive pre-sharpened ready for immediate use. They can be easily re sharpened when the cutters become dull or blunt, with the Woodcut Tools Tru-Grind Credit Card Hone, or similar. How regularly you sharpen the cutters will depend on the timber being used.
