I cut, drilled and glued up my first CSUSA Aero pen blanks today. Much to my surprise I don't have a barrel guide for my trimmer that fits the barrel correctly.
I don't have a disk sander. I went shopping for a disk sander and couldn't find anything locally other than a Craftsman belt/disco combination but the disk is only 9" in diameter. I would really like to have a 12" disk for use on segmented turning.
Any idea how I can trim the blanks and barrels? I tried the doublesided tape and sandpaper trick on the mandrel and couldn't seem to get it to work.
I am at a loss.
I found some "O" size interchangeable guides for the trim cutter. Would these be close enough? The Aero from CSUSA uses a 23/64" bit.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
