Turning pens on a ShopSmith
Think I'm going to try turning a few pens. Any suggestions on where to get the necessary mandrels etc. to work with a ShopSmith? The only place I have found is Penn State Industries. Also, how does the quality of PSI's pen kits compare to other suppliers? Where would you suggest I look for kits? Any advice and suggestions appreciated! If and when I get good enough, I plan on turning out Freedom Pens. Hope the learning goes fast! :confused:
pen mandrel for shopsmith
Ron,
www.penkit.net has pen mandrel kits for shopsmith for 26.00. They include 7 7mm bushings and a 7mm drill bit. This is where I am orderiing my mandrel. They also have them that fit into drill chucks. The only bad thing is that they have a $50.00 minimum order. Hope this helps. Not affiliated.
