Well my pepper mill herd is complete.
I can get 4 sizes of the guts for the mills at our local LV.
The 8", 12" and 18" could be done on my 3520B as it came.
But I needed to get the 18" bed extension to do the 24". And a bit with an extension to bore at least 10"
I also thought a bowl steady would be needed as I have never bored holes in a chunk of wood that deep on a lathe.
Didn't end up using the bowl steady as the blanks behaved better than I thought they would.
And I was quite surprised at how close the holes met in the middle.
So to do the 24" mill it cost me about $800.00.
Up side is the next one will only be $400.00...
