Pepper Mill, Salt Mill or ...
CrushGrind grinding mechanisms from Denmark have been a favourite among woodturners for many years. They are also widely used by designers. Click here or here to see a few examples.
The ceramic grinding mechanism is suitable for grinding salt and pepper, but can also be used for coffee beans and other dried herbs and spices. The shaft connecting the top knob to the grinding mechanism is approximately 19 cm (5.1") long and made of aluminium. It can easily be shortened to suit smaller mill designs.The grind size is adjusted at the bottom of the mechanism using the adjustment wheel.

A range of practical tools is available for installing CrushGrind mechanisms. The Carp CrushGrind Drill and the CrushGrind Mini Drill allow you to drill all the required holes for the mechanism in a single operation. There is also a dedicated chisel that enables you to quickly cut the retaining slot for the mechanism's locking tabs without measuring.
Use and Maintenance
To clean the ceramic grinding mechanism, remove the cone from the grinder and use a stiff brush to clean the ceramic parts. If necessary, soak the cone in lukewarm water to loosen stubborn residue. Allow the grinding mechanism to dry for at least 24 hours before reassembling the grinder.
When switching between different herbs or spices, grind a small amount of coarse salt through the mechanism to remove any remaining residue.
