I recently ordered 18 of the mica pearl pen blanks from PSI: https://www.pennstateind.com/store/PKXMP96.html
I am having some difficulty with blow outs and chipping while turning.
I have turned acrylics before but they "ribboned" nicely when turning. These turn like chalk! Very dusty and no "ribbons" while turning.
I am turning at about 1500 rpms with Carbide tools.
Anyone have any suggestions? Turn faster? Slower?
Thanks!
