Thread: Turning a pepper mill/grinder

Carrols wood craft sells just the mechanism
Toni

Ooops sorry that is here in Australia not in the area you are looking for. Sorry

I'm pretty sure you can't buy just the Peugeot mechanism. I've been looking for some 18 months now... although admittedly not that hard.

Wotcha Harry, don't know about the Peugeot mechanisms but you could try these. The 'CrushGrind' internals are top quality. Just cost a bit more than the normal craft quality. When you buy the commercially made ones they often have a lifetime guarantee.

Good luck with your search.

This ground was covered in a thread a few months ago ... think the result was a dead end.

Do they sell the Peugeot ones too Toni, I can only find crushgrind. If so I'll defo import from Aus, I really want some.
Otherwise I'll have a go at the crushgrind ones if the consensus is they're really good

Crushgrind are the best that I know you can buy just the mech for... here in Oz, anyway.

No they don't sell the Peugeot ones, as far as I know they are not available in Australia.

Why don't you try the link TePe put up.

I have made several Crushgrind mills and everyone that I have given or sold to has been blown away by how smooth and consistent they are. With ceramic internals and a 25yr warranty you can't go wrong

Hi Harry,

According to all sources, Crushgrind are the best ones around but if you want a more basic version then Axminster sell them. The price may well reflect the quality of the mechanism compared to the Crushgrid though. Take a look here.

Good luck,

Richard

its a Peugeot of however you spell it

pretty exe tho

Google is an amazing resource (sometimes)

Doesn't look like a DIY kit to me.

Complete Peugeot pepper grinders can be bought in Oz - I've seen them for around 50 bucks; you could always try pulling one apart and making your own shell.

Have to agree with Ern on that one and the salt is only a shaker too.

well it looks like the peugeot ones are off the list then. The crushgrinds are good looking. However, call me prejudiced but I want a hardened stell mechanism, not ceramic or stainless steel. All the crushgrind one's are ceramic, are there any other good alternatives?
Thanks

You're prejudiced!

The crushgrind website at www.crushgrind.com.au spells out that they guarantee the mechanism for 25 years. The text below is cut and pasted from their website directly.

The ceramic mechanism has a 25 year warranty.
CrushGrind® delivers unrivalled levels of power and precision and has passed a test that equals to 200 years usage in a normal household.

Additionally, one other very attractive feature in my opinion at least is that ceramic does not rust. While it may take several years, about 6-7 in my first grinders, it will happen with a salt grinder no matter how much you try to avoid it.

While I have only had my new grinder mechanisms for a little while so cannot vouch for the accuracy of the above information personally, I think that you might find it hard to beat the above claims if true.......

Are these the internals that are sold by Carroll's and Gary Pye etc.
