Is anyone using the Crushgrind click-in shaftless pepper mill mechanisms? I've made a couple of mills with them and the recommended shaft size to drill is 1 1/2" but it seems that this is just a tad loose.
Woodcraft has a sheet that shows it as a 38mm shaft, which is something like 1.495 inches. I'd buy the metric Forstner bits if that makes a real difference but don't know. I'm using the Colt bits with the Rota-stop shafts and they don't seem to make metric equivalents so I'd have to go a different direction it looks like.
I'd like to get a good snug fit that doesn't require a bunch of epoxy to hold the mill in the housing, so if anyone has any tips I'd appreciate it!
