A orthopedic/spine bone mill comprising a vessel and a rotatable grinding tool to produce ground autologous and or allograft bone particles for surgical bone reconstruction use, wherein the vessel includes a wall defining a circular cylindrical chamber having a concentric axis. The vessel further includes generally concave or a cup shaped bottom wall which corresponds to the shape of the cutting blade and a lid adapted to be removably connected to the vessel. The lid includes an opening coincident with the axis. The grinding tool includes an elongated shaft extending through the opening in the Jid along the axis with a cutting blade mounted to the shaft within the chamber whereby the cutting blade can be rotated by motive device, such as a drill find in the operating room, engaging the shaft exterior of the vessel to cut bone, placed in the vessel, into said bone particles.
