I just started working on my 4th pen, and my mandrel seems bent. The blank closest to the tailstock just doesn't turn as smooth as the blank nearest the headstock.
I have a mandrel from Woodcraft. I pulled my tailstock live center just snug to the mandrel, and tightened the brass knob just tight enough to keep the blank from slipping while turning. I can't seem to get the bend out of the mandrel. I need help straightening things out!
