Pepper grinder

• the pepper is sheared off, which provides a flavor advantage
• the grinder does not clog
• the grinder achieves a higher performance with fewer revolutions

Recommendation:
If you want to deviate from Heiner Stephani's construction recommendation (see link below) and drill all or part of the wooden body, you can use a Forstner bit with a diameter of 23 mm - possibly with a bit extension - especially for the through-hole. The lower bore extension to 38 mm for the adjustment bracket and the upper extension for the turning cover (individually according to mill shape) can be made with the turning scraper. See drawing. If you also want to drill out these diameters with a Forstner bit, you must do this before drilling out the through hole so that centering in the wood is possible.
We recommend the FAMAG BORMAX or ZOBO drilling systems. Both systems are available for a variety of diameters and also with extensions.
A simple twist drill for 5.5 mm can be used for the through-hole on the rotating cover.

Please note:
Strässler precision grinders come with a 10-year guarantee. However, it should be noted that parts that have become defective due to improper handling and normal wear and tear cannot be replaced free of charge. It is therefore particularly important that the grinders are installed in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. This means that when installing the pepper, salt or caraway grinders, it is essential to ensure that the lid has at least 0.5 to 1.0 mm play in the longitudinal direction when the "knob" is tightened and the adjusting screw (bottom) is set to the middle position. It must never be possible to tighten the grinder with the knob!  The fineness of the grind is always set with the lower adjustment screw. This results in a practically "lifelong" perfect function.

Woods containing tannic acid such as oak or robinia should not be used. This could lead to corrosion of the metal parts of the grinder.
