Hi everyone , i was looking for some assistance on a question i have , i am going to attempt pen turning and have discovered my lathe (a scheppach DMT 180) has a solid drive with no morse taper to accept a pen mandrel with a morse taper , i have looked into using a junior chuck which threads onto my drive ,this has various collets that would accept a straight mandrel ,would this accept a morse taper also and can anyone recommend a pen kit that would work with this chuck set up that has all the tools i may require .I would also like to know where you source your pen components from and what you would recommend i start with , how many you order at a time and pen cases etc. Infact if there is anything you can tell me that may be of help to me then please do as i will need all the help i can get . I dont want to order all the stuff and then realise i made a mistake .thanks in advance everyone .
Peter
