If you are talking the mini's with a handle or the antique with a handle I get mine from Packard Woodworks.

thanks for the info. exactly what i was looking for.
now for the million dollar question. opinions on which kit to use.
psi has bushings for use on a mandrel i assume. packard lists nothing and i cant seem to find turning instructions on their website. but that means nothing as i am technologically challenged to start with
read the psi reviews and they were less than complimentary. (imho).
what about packards kits?
any one care to chime in??

I wasn't aware that peppermill kits started using bushings! I know two people that make the Packard kits...Bernie and one other guy. I've heard that the caps covering the top bore seem a bit flimsy, but that is second hand...not my experience.
