Adjustable mandrel

[YoYoSpin]

I've been using the Lee Valley adjustable pen mandrel for several years, and like it a lot. Looks like they've got it in stock again. Here's the link: http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=46448&cat=1,330,49238&ap=1

I too have been using this one for quite a while and really like it.
I had been using the one from PSI before. i overtightened one day and blew it apart. Very poor design.
I highly recommend this mandrel.

I've been using a similar mandrel from Woodcraft, and like it a lot.

Seems like the collet would be a little more accurate, and makes it easier to change the length. But, it takes two wrenches instead of just an allen wrench. Cost is about the same. Whatever works....

That looks like a very nice mandrel. I use the same rods inside of my Beall Collet chuck. It is solid.
