I got some stuff to turn a peppermill as a present, along with some wood. Which is all fine. Well except for a spring missing from the kit, but I am sure that can be fixed easily. LV nearby!
But it seems I need to drill out a 1 1/16 diameter hole. the length of thelower portion of the peppermill. The only drill bits I see in this diameter are auger bits. I am worried that the pilot screw on the augerbit will split this nice block of walnut. ????
What do the experienced people use/do? And do you dril them out first and turn them, or drill after????
