#Instamachinist Video: Making Spice Grinders with Vipers & Diamondbacks

Our friend Kamal over at Rapid Prototype Machining Corp., is at it again with some very cool products.  He's been posting on Instagram his latest project making hand held spice grinders. They are made out of 6061 and finish out at 2" in diameter and only weighing a mirror finished 92.4 grams (3.3 ounces).

Check out the video on the right of a 1/2" DiamondBack in action.  It's fast, so don't blink!

Here is the roughing video that I promised a few people of the @miteebite versagrips in action. There's nothing special about this video, I'm just showing that you can still haul ass with tools, full depth of cut, and your part will go nowhere. In the video I am using a @destinytool 1/2" diamond rougher being held by a @maritoolusa collet style tool holder. Instead of running one part in the middle, we have now put one part on each end. Allowing us to run a top and bottom at the same time.
