Default Crush Grind Peppermill

I am ready to try turning a peppermill and have a crush grind mechanism from
Packard. The directions indicate that I need to trun two grooves one inside
the body and the other inside the cap. These grooves are sort of like a
groove for a snap ring. They actually hold the mechanism in the body and the
truning mechanism in the cap.

Has anyone turned a peppermill using this mechanism. I am not sure what to
use to make the groove. The groove needs to be about 2 1/4 inches up from
the bottom of the body and about 3/4 inch up from the bottom of the cap.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Russ

Hi Russ

These are the only mechanism that I've used and I really like how they
enable you to design whatever you want for the top, without having to
factor in the usual metal knob.

There are now a couple of places selling scrapers to make the groove but
it's pretty easy to make your own, and that's what I did.
If you go to the Stiles and Bates website and look at their Crushgrind
page you'll see one, along with dimensions (although you can just work
from the actual mechanism).

Hope that helps. If you need more info just ask

Thanks Duncan

I went to the web site and looked at the sketch of the tool and believe I
can make this. Being in the US I would probably not be able to easily get
the special made tool from Stiles and Bates. If you have any other
suggestions on a source of the scraper for this application I would
appreciate it, especially if I have trouble making the tool.

That looks like a simple tool to make with a file and a vise.

You might be able to find a large screw driver that can be ground down
and then defined just right. I'm thinking of the 18" long thick ones.
Provided handle and shaft.

You can make a paper overlay for easy testing while filing / grinding.

in the past, when I've wanted to cut an interior groove, I've made a tool
from an allen wrench - it's good steel and will take a great edge
