Beautiful as always, Doc. Flawless execution.

Those are awesome doc! You have really been cranking them out, maybe a phallic obsession? Seriously though, on the subject of forstner bits, I coughed up the money for a Colt Maxi cut 2 1/4" (the largest I could find) and used it the first time yesterday. I'm sold, it cuts end grain wood like butter. If I was doing a lot of pepper mills I would use them for sure, not cheap though $40 or so depending on size. I use forstners for doing the initial core on hollow forms, cheap bits dull rather quickly in end grain...

I've heard nothing but good about the Colt bits, but I haven't made the leap... Yet. When my current bits are beyond salvage, I'll probably upgrade them one by one to the Colt version... If my phallic obsession continues.

How is the quality of the kits from Chefwarekits? Have you order any mill kits from them before? The reason I ask is I bought some second hand, mill kits, and they seemed cheap. Don't have a clue where the original owner got them from.

Yes I bought 2 Colt forstner bits and they make mincemeat out of the end grain. I'm sold too except for the cost yowser

I am guessing you are asking me this question. I have only purchased crushgrind mills from them since crushgrind is a registered trademark I think the quality will be the same no matter where you purchase them. The only other item I have purchased was the pig tail meat flipper, not a very challenging project but it is a great grilling tool.

Nice mills I am going to try a shaftless next time. Here is another place to get pepper mill kits prices are about the same as others. If you are on the east coast shipping is really fast as they are in NH. Things I have ordered come the next day. http://www.chefwarekits.com/

Thanks for the link. I've done numerous internet searches and never run across this site. Looks like he has pretty good prices too.
