Hi everyone. I like to consider myself a pretty good turner and have turned many styles of pens, but the Cigar pen is my nemesis. Seems to always want to turn out of round and the tubes move inside the blank and every other possible mishap. I think the problem is the hole is too large for the tubes. I use Epoxy to glue them in, but they alway seem to want to break loose. What size drill bit do you all use? The standard 10MM that is suggested? Maybe someone has another thought as to why these are so troublesome for me. I want to like the the Cigar pens, but they are not making it easy! :biggrin:
