it looks like I inadvertently glued some slimline barrels onto the mandrel. How do I remove them without damaging the wood? Once I get them off, I can always refinish them again.

would debonder work
try tapping the mandrel against the lathe ways - sometimes that cracks the glue that's holding it on...

Acetone will dissolve the CA.

Worse-case scenario, just turn all the way through the wood and brass to save the mandrel. Otherwise, see the above solutions. I'd use a couple sharp raps with a tool to snap the glue loose, and then move on to acetone if that doesn't work.

If the other methods don't work for you, try heating up the mandrel a little. CA will lose its grip when it gets hot.

I had the same problem one time. I put the whole mandrel rod into a bottle of nail polish remover (acetone) and let it soak. I took a couple of days, but the tubes came off. The bloodwood gave up a little color to the acetone but was OK otherwise.

I did the same thing and never did get them off soaked in actone and tried heat. It was easier to go to W/C and buy a couple new ones.

How much heat did you use and how did you apply it?
