PEPPER MILLS

PEPPER MILLS WITH WOODCUT TOOLS

Australian turner Brendan Stemp had the idea of making the process simpler and faster to produce Peppermills. Frustrated with the complexity of using multiple drill bits, Brendan’s idea to develop a product was inspired from observing the process of a Mill Drill press and adding two cutters.
Brendan worked with, the late, Peter Hewitt of Woodcut Tools to produce the Woodcut Mill Drill product, designed to operate with the CrushGrind® Shaft mechanism. This product has been available since 2010.
Responding to customer feedback to simplify the setup of the cutters for optimal cutting, Woodcut Tools added machined flats to accurately set up the cutters in 2021.
As use of the CrushGrind® Shaft Mini grew, so did customer interest in updating the Woodcut Mill Drill to also support the operation of the CrushGrind® Shaft Mini mechanism in 2022. Woodcut Tools worked with German woodturner Mario Nagel www.mareihoiz.com, who production turns Pepper Mills, to ensure the Woodcut Mill Drill Universal is well designed for turners. 
The Mill Drill Universal is a versatile tool and with some adjustments 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 incorporates a No2 Morse Taper so it will fit into the tail stock of most lathes which means the drilling process can be done on a lathe.
