Doc, could you comment on the efficacy of this 'mill drill'? Worth the 84 bucks, ya think?

Not for me, Mike. The hardest part for me is the long through hole, and the mill drill doesn't help with that. I suppose if I were in production mode, that thing would be great. Since I only make a dozen or two a year, I think I'd probably stick with my Forstner bits. If you get one, please post your thoughts on it... I might be persuaded!
 
Not likely I'll get one. Two dozen mills in one year would be doubling my production. I probably won't even get an appropriate extension for my Forstner bits. For a 12" mill, I go at it from both ends and hope the hole meets in the middle. :)
 
I was doing both ends and meet in the middle for a long time too Mike but the extension is definitely worth it - at least to me it is.

I agree with Kevin about the extension. I bought the longer one from CSUSA, and I wish I had gotten the shorter one too. I drill from both ends, and I'd prefer the shorter extension for that purpose.

That reminds me, I've got a couple of extensions that have never been used, but they aren't made to hold my Forstner bits(too small)... I need to list them here for sale/trade.
 
Very thorough post! Thank you, I was curious where you purchased the shaftless mechanism from. I have only found craft USA to carry them.
 
David, @DKMD , sure appreciate this and the new link back to it. I am watching Michael’s thread as well as I am about to embark on my first peppermills. Sure appreciate your time.
