• If you’ve turned more than a couple pens, you’ve probably noticed that there’s just not much material left on top of the brass tube when you get finished. Any amount of misalignment can show up as brass showing through acrylic or even worse, a complete blow-out. None of the mandrels available on the market today seem to help matters much, until now. Introducing the Pen Mandrel System. Each component is designed and manufactured with one goal…keeping your pen perfectly centered on your lathe. 
• Let’s start at the headstock side. The mandrel shaft slides into a 12-segment collet. Expose just the amount you need and close the collet with the locking collar. The shaft is perfectly centered and locked securely. The mandrel utilizes a #2 morse taper.
• The ground and polished mandrel shaft accommodates almost all bushings on the market, including our new precision bushings (more on them later). 
• On the tailstock side, the mandrel shaft goes into another 12-segment collet…don’t worry about putting in extra spacers to take up the unused shaft, just slide your tailstock right up tight to your work. As you tighten your tailstock, the cap compresses the collet, centering the mandrel shaft perfectly. 
• You won’t find another mandrel on the market that centers your work more precisely. Every piece of the system is manufactured to the strictest tolerances, from the finest stainless steel available, on state-of-the-art CNC Swiss Lathes.
