I wanted to know if the salt model 90604 is the one that goes with the pepper grinder 90603? do they have the same dimensions?

SKU 90603 is for peppercorn. It has a carbon steel grinder, while SKU 90604 is for salt crystal. That unit has a ceramic grinder which prevents it from rusting due to more moisture for the salt. However, you can also use the SKU 90604 for peppercorn though it may not grind as well as the carbon steel. Exact dimensions to each other. Note: these new LED light versions are much better overall in quality and have a stronger motor than before so you can pretty much disregard all negative comments from December 2012 and before.

Yes they do. I love them and I have had them for quite awhile. I even bought them for the rest of the family. I know you will like them.

YES! These are great! I just saw a paired option on Amazon. I am glad to hear the LED light is updated as our Salt Mill's light went out (likely something with teh properties of salt+metal). I love these! We bought them out of need (they operate one-handed and are better than all other "one-handed" salt/pepper mills) but I love to use them even with the ability to use for both hands!

I believe the only difference in the salt grinder is it has a ceramic non corrosive grinding mechanism inside. I had both and they look the same outside.

Julie: Just pull the top silver piece straight off and fill. Be careful as today I filled my pepper grinder and I pulled the top rather firmly and some peppercorns flew when the top came off. My fault as I was in a bit of a hurry. Hope you enjoy the grinder. Do you have both the salt and pepper ones? I have both. Had to order from two different vendors, but love them both. They are well worth the money spent. Enjoy!

I unscrewed the nob at the top of the salt and the created a space by pulling the salt Unit from the pepper unit I was the able to pour some peppercorns in the lower unit. There was not a Lot of space And I cupped My hand around the units to help guide the peppercorns in. I then pushed the units together refilled The salt And replaced To top knob.

Yes, we are very pleased with it. However, I do have the salt grinder so I cannot answer that part.

I have an update for you. I went to the Calphalon website and found the model #: 1779206

Yes, that is what I have. I figured I was taking a chance buying the salt plate holder, but although it's a bit cumbersome because of the thick block, it does fit.

I did not receive a pepper mill, I received a salt grinder, the company did now offer to replace it with the pepper mill I ordered.

I think they are just alike. I have both. Can't say I ever tried to see if the pepper mill would grind salt. They work the same. Honestly I hardly ever use the salt mill. It looks nice sitting with the pepper mill. They hold a lot so I do not have to refill that often.

Hey Savage, most of the threads on most tools are universal, like mini grinders are all 5/8". I believe thatit will fit, but if it does not Amazon is good about giving returns, although you will probably have to pay the returnpostage

Specs are the same. I'm thinking a product naming change, but not sure. The grind, hook and kerf are the same.

We have an Oster electric meat grinder, but it does not have a model number. This replacement works well with our Oster. Wish I could be more helpful

They look almost exactly the same except the salt grinder has a white o-ring on the bottom -- the pepper is black ---which is saying one is for salt only ---the grinding mechanisms are exactly the same--and they are adjustable w/5 settings --- they are efficient and good for everyday use ----replace with peppercorns and fairly course salt JEV

I only have the pepper grinder, but it has the best grind adjustment capability of any grinder I have seen. I would have to believe the salt grinder would be equally adjustable.

They look the same. I will tell you that the pepper doesn't grind as well as the salt. I think if's a function of the difference between the salt crystal, very hard and dense and the peppercorn, which somewhat hollow. I don't know if the 2 mills are interchangeable but I think the odds are pretty good that they are. C

I have not tried to do that, but since they sell a separate salt grinder my best gas is that the grinding elements are different for salt from pepper Salt is a harder material. Spices might be okay, but I have never tried that.

With mine, there's a lot of spillage from the salt, compared to the pepper. On the other hand, a few days ago the grinder ring popped off and dumped a bunch of pepper "dust" everywhere. Fortunately, it popped right back on and doesn't seem to be any worse for it. Honestly though, if I knew back then what I know today about this item, I'd have probably passed by it in favor of a better model. This is a case of "you get what you pay for." I think I'm going back to having separate - wooden - mills.

Did you buy it via Amazon, or one of their sellers? I would contact them as it should be under warranty.The only issue I ever have is with my salt grinder if I use the wet grey sea salt as it does gunk up the mechanism. But no problem with pepper grinder using tellicherry. We've used ours for several years now, but it needs to be refilled often.
