Wooden Pepper Grinder Fix

thingiverse

For anyone using a wooden pepper grinder, you may discover that with prolonged heavy usage, the internal metal rod starts wearing down a circle in the top wooden piece where it once touched the square-shaped wood. When this occurs, the grinder becomes practically useless unless you can locate and press-fit a replacement part into place. The level of wear on your model will determine whether you need to drill out the center of the replacement part for a snug fit. In either case, you'll want a precise fit to ensure proper operation, making glue unnecessary.
