Robert Sorby Crushgrind Relief Cutting Tool

Robert Sorby Crushgrind Relief Cutting Tool.

A simple design which enables the user to accurately cut the groove, which is essential for fitting the main body of the Crushgrind pepper/ salt mills.

The crushgrind mechanism has two sprung clips which must locate into a groove.

This will stop the mechanism from being pushed out of the wooden body. The tool blade is shaped in such a way that the groove will always be in the correct distance from the shoulder against which the mechism sits.

Using the tool shown the turner should bring the rear of the recess up to the wooden shoulder and then tilt into the wood so that the cutter at the tip cuts the groove.

The V notch on the top should be used to line up with the base of the top of the mill so that the drive plug, similarly fits correctly into a groove.
