Woodcut Tools MDU Mill Drill Universal

Designed to make the production of pepper grinders that utilize the CrushGrind® type mechanism easier. For use with both standard and mini mechanisms.

A 1" (25.5mm) hole is drilled in the pepper mill blank and then the Mill Drill Universal 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 hole for the body of the mechanism and, finally a larger 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 calipers or, an accurate rule the cutters can be set to the correct orientation and distances required.
​

• A simple design to speed up your production of peppermills. Specifically designed for, but not limited to, using the CrushGrind® mechanism.

• Designed and made by wood turners, every detail is thought about from a woodworkers point of view, resulting in an easy to use tool which gives the very best results every time.

• Your product will arrive pre-sharpened ready for immediate use. They can be easily re sharpened when the cutters become dull or blunt, with the Tru-Grind Credit Card Hone, or similar. How regularly you sharpen the cutters will depend on the timber being used.

• The product incorporates a No2 Morse Taper so it will fit into the tail stock of most lathes. 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. It can be used to hold Forstner drill bits with a 0.39" (9.9mm) shank.

• The high speed steel (M2 HSS) cutters are machined to be simple for the turner to accurately set up and efficiently cut.

• An extensive user guide booklet is included in the box with your Mill Drill. User guide and demonstration videos available on You Tube featuring Mario Nagel.
  Product finish - Zinc plated, etched with Woodcut logo and cutter indicators to assist easy set up.
