Hi everyone,
I was shopping for a adjustable mandrel for a friend of mine when I come across a particular shop where I saw this "unusual" to me anyway adjustable mandrel that it seems to have been design with a better balance/design and vibration free from not having square nuts turning at high speeds.
I also believe (from the pics as I'm waiting to receive 2 of these I order) that this nice set comes with metal conical finishing bushes (Delrin type design) for TBC type work or at least allowing the CA finish the done without using the original kit bushings voiding the bushes glue-ups with the barrels, often a problem.
Looking at it, I notice immediately the very "ergonomic" design which only can be an advantage. I have also been told that these mandrels are made in the UK, which surprised me not being made in China..!
I have also been told that this mandrels have been available in Australia for about 2 years but I have never seen any mention to it, either on any Aussie sites or here, where so many Aussies are members. If made in the UK, it surprised me that has not been any mention of it by any of our UK friends/members...!!!
With all this said, I'm not going to be totally surprised if someone tells me that, these have been shown and discussed numerous time, nevertheless I am not aware of such, otherwise I wouldn't be writing this post, huh...???:biggrin:
The Price here is AU$42.00 + freight, I wonder if anyone here have heard or seen these...!!!
PS: Drill bits, brass tubes and pen kits shown on the second pic are not part of the mandrel kit but a promotional option from the supplier...!
Cheers
George
