I am a beginner pen turner and I just got a kit from WoodCraft with a mandral in it.
I have a 1980 Shopsmith Mark 5 and I do not know if my mandrel will work with the lathe attached to it. Does anybody have any answers????

you can use the shopsmith 1/4" router chuck to hold your mandrel. that would leave the drill chuck free for drilling. if your mandrel would wobble in the drill chuck i would toss it as it would not be any good for drilling. FWIW

I use the mandrel that Brad has the link for, so far so good. PSI also has other adapters to go from the shopsmith 5/8" shaft to a threaded adapter to install a jaw chuck on also.
