I'm fairly new to pen turning. Currently I'm turning a CSUSA Artisan Jr Retro Pen Kit. I've manage to crack several pen blanks. I'm drilling the blanks at 200 RPMs and backing out the drill (12.5mm) numerous times to eliminate chip build up. I'm thinking of drilling a 5/32 dia hole first and then follow up with the 12.5 mm drill. Any thoughts and/or ideas?
