Hi All,
I have been working with a set of Churchill pens, all in AA 25 black acrylic from Berea. I tried to turn 10 pen bodies last night, every single one of the pen portions broke though to the tube.
I looked at some of them, I am seeing some potential for failure based on maybe the drill size (31/64) being too large for the tubes having a space or pocket between the tube and drilled hole leaving a gap? I blew all 10 bodies and now wonder is there a preferred drill size to the 31/64th that I am not aware of?
Thanks!
