turning pepper/salt grinders

[cody michael]

where is the best place to buy a quality inexpensive as possible pepper/salt grinder kit?

[Paul Atkins]

Inexpensive as possible grinders do not grind pepper very well. Salt grinders should be ceramic or stainless so they do not corrode, also. I've had too many grinders that were junk and got very frustrated while cooking/eating. My 2 cents.

I'll second that. There's only a couple bucks difference between the good ones and the cheap ones. You put too much effort into the woodworking to use a cheap grinder mechanism. A guy in our club makes grinders as a business and these are what he uses. He buys them in bulk at a discounted price and sells them to us for his price.

I get the deluxe mills from CSUSA or Packard Woodworks. Get the ceramic for salt as was said. I have made quite a few and have never had a problem with any of them.
