I'm looking to find an adjustable mandrel? Mainly looking for 5/8 and 1/2. It seems the only place that sells them are CSUSA. Does anybody else know a place that sells them?

I am guessing you are looking for game call mandrels. Try this guy thirdwheelrider | eBay
He has the sizes you asked about in either straight shanks or MT shanks. If you want shorter versions, he also makes them.

Thanks. I make lots of game calls, but do them with a pin chuck. I've been looking for the mandrels.

I just use my 3-jaw scrolling chuck and a length of steel rod of the appropriate size makes a great mandrel ... very cheap and easy to replace if something happens to it.
In many cases, you don't even need to buy the rod stock. A single carriage bolt of the appropriate size and length would work!

If you look at this chart you will see that your bolt diameter sizes are only "grenade" close. Even making a pin chuck can cause and create it's own problems. http://www.zerofast.com/product/carriage-bolts
