Good day to all. In this article, we will consider MK, one author for the manufacture of a mill for spices.
Materials that were needed: Cherry blank pre-dried, set for a mill with ceramic millstones.
Tools: Lathe, feather drills of various sizes, drill chuck.
The first thing the master did is the approximate ratio of millimeters to inches. To do this, he used the unit conversion table + rounding.
According to the author, there are at least four types of mechanisms, mills for salt and pepper 6 ″, 9 ″, or 12 inches, but apart from the long knitting needle in the center, they have no differences.
Manufacturing process.
Set the workpiece in the machine and proceeded to its processing.
This set was used by the master.
First, the author processed the workpiece up to 65 mm in diameter and realized that a mill with such a diameter is too big. Then he recounted the dimensions again and slightly reduced the diameter.
I decided to make the turning part a little longer. By marking up.
The author drilled and the inner diameter.
Cutting off everything unnecessary.
Set the drill chuck in the tailstock of the turning.
A pen drill makes a hole in the workpiece slowly.
When deepening the drill, it reduces the feed, so as not to overheat the workpiece and drill. The drill size is 1-1 / 8 inches.
On the back of the same part, the hole made 1-1 / 2 inches. The masking tape was glued onto the drill by the author to control the depth of the hole.
Then the master made a 7 mm through hole in the upper turning part of the future mill.
Fit the size of the inner leg tightly.
Additionally, the master did not make a large depression under the crab, with which the core of the mechanism will be rotated.
Combining both parts, he clamped in the centers and pierced the middle. After grinding.
Then set the crab in its place.
For safe use of the mill in the kitchen, covered it with wax-oil mastic. Also, this coating gave a good look and shine. homemade.
Ceramic millstones have this appearance.
Assembly of all mechanisms and parts.
Having removed the protective film from the washer, the author put it in place and fixed it with screws.
Using this screw you can adjust the degree of grinding. Tightening or loosening a screw.
Such a mill for spices turned out from our master.
Thank you all, and see you soon!
