Because these mechanisms are ceramic, they will grind salt, pepper and spices. A bottom-mounted locking grind adjustment knob eliminates the need for an adjustment knob on top of the mill, and the snap-in fitting does not require the use of metal fasteners. This lack of restrictions opens up a whole new world of design possibilities for woodturners. Complete illustrated mounting instructions are included, both have a 25-year manufacturer's warranty. This mill is manufactured to give the greatest flexibility in mill design. With it, you can create traditional as well as upside-down mills. It has ribs that will penetrate into the wooden housing to hold the mechanism horizontally and "catchers" that hold it vertically. Placement of the turning point is flexible which gives the mechanism its unique design characteristics. Although the simplest design is 4 to 8 inches high, you can virtually build a mill as tall as you desire.

Crush Ginds are great, but this version isn't as easy to build a mill for
I have used several of the "Crush Grind" mechanisms that have the metal pentagon shaft. The ceramic grinder portion of those is exactly the same as these and it is an excellent grinder. Anyone that has tried the Crush Grind mechanism has ended up being impressed by them.I have a couple of these exact mechanisms but in the end I didn't use them. They are a little more specialized and require a non-traditional looking pepper mill design. I never got around to developing a plan that would fully accommodate this mechanism, so mine are still sitting on the shelf.All-in-all there is nothing wrong with these, they're just different to use from other mill mechanisms and I gravitated toward their other Crush Grind version that has a shaft.Look closely at these before you buy. If you need a design like these, then they'll probably work out great for you.
