I have one. It's has been great so far. I will tell you that if you need to adjust it for a different length, pull the mandrel out first and don't try to push in. With mine anyways it jammed pushing it in and made it a task to get it back out without damaging it. This is the one I have here. It was also the one recommended to me here.

I use the one from PSI that looks to be the same and it works fine. One piece of advice, use 1 or 2 of the 7 mm bushings (or whatever you have) between the knurled nut and the bushing you are using so that it will be completely on the smooth shaft. This will help to keep the bushing properly centered and running true.[

I have the Planet mandrel which is the same idea. you just adjust the length to suit the blank or blanks you are working on.
I find it works just fine.

Well worth the investment saves time and aggravation.
