Crush Grind Tool
21
For anyone turning salt and pepper mills using a CrushGrind mechanism, this is an essential
tool in obtaining the correct depth and size of recesses needed to enable the mechanism
to work correctly. The step or shoulder of the tool gives an accurate position of the recess
required for the base section of the mill. The small V notch on the right hand side allows the
other groove to be produced in the top section when it is lined up with the outer face.
The CrushGrind tool will give accurate and effortless results time and again.
Chris West, woodturner and author, recommends
the Robert Sorby Crush Grind Tool to form the
recess and to allow for the correct fitting of the
CrushGrind ® mechanism.
