8mm pen kits?

[bushwacked]

I am looking for some 8mm pen kits.

I bought quite a few ore made blanks for an 8mm kit I have stupidly before testing it first. Come to find out they don't fit. The pen kit is the tiny giant at turners warehouse .. Chads place... the kit specifies 5/16 or 8mm. 5/16 is perfect and snug. 8mm the kit just falls out.

So now I need to find some 8mm kits that I can use these blanks on and not waste $70ish on blanks sitting in storage.

Thanks!!

I think the PSI Slimline Pro is an 8 mm kit.

Check out the 'Pen Kit Bushing & Tubes 2016 --> (popup)' table in the 'reference' section of the Library (blue box at top of page). Pick a vendor and scroll through the listings. The required drill bit will be listed.

If you have the IAP app you can search "8mm" and a very long list of pens appears from about all the suppliers.

PSI has a bolt action tec pen that's a nice kit. It's a little on the heavy side but a solid kit. I thought it was a little heavy to carry in a regular shirt pocket because it wanted to pull the pocket away from my chest like it wanted to flip out. My buddy clips it to the bottom of the button flap on a Polo and he loves it.

Try this thread. It has list of pens with their tube sizes from different sellers.
