I've been turning bowls for a few years and want to try turning pens. I've looked at the starter set from PSI, which includes the mandrel, chisels, and 10 pen/pencil kits. Is this a good kit, or can I find one better (at about the same price)?
One question I have, is that I've seen mandrels that are MT and some that are threaded. Based on my lathe, I could get a MT#2 or a 8TPI. Is there a reason why I would choose one over the other? Also, any other advice on what I need to purchase to get started?
Thanks,
Joel
