Looking for mandrel/tap to try bottle stoppers. Can you tell me what your using? I have a drill chuck or a 4 jaw PSI check I could mount it in.

Scott,
Take a look at this site http://www.torne-lignum.com
Ruth has an exceptional patented design that is made in the U.S. out of stainless steel and is reasonably priced.
You can buy a mandrel/tap from her and she has a "starter" kit that has very thing you need but the lathe & the wood.
Owner is a very nice lady & she has a nice section on her site about turning stoppers.
hope this helps

I just use a PSI mandrel and drill my hole at 5/16 then use a 3/8x16 tap and it holds on there well. Even when doing a dowel with silicone sleeve stopper I use the same thing. One turned I tap the hole larger so the dowel will fit. The taps I got from HF. So all together I maybe spent $20 or less to get started.
