Squaring sleeves

[Smitty37]

I have a PSI universal squaring jig...It works great with 7mm tubes. It doesn include any sleeves for use with larger diameter tubes. I suppose a person could not worry about it and just use the 7mm for every thing but I think that might not work does anyone know where a body might find sleeves. e

Smitty,

I made my own sleeves by turning down cast-off blanks with 7 mm tubes. Turn them to slide inside of the brass tube for the pen kit your are making.

I have had good results not using any sleeves on the PSI jig, just be sure to hold the blank firmly on the arm of the jig, so the blank will stay in alignment with the arm of the jig.

lol ... Thank you, that is so obvious that I have to wonder why it didn't occur to me. I'm going to blame my advanced age.

I haven't been overly successful doing that,

Arizona Silhouette used to sell adapters before they were bought out. You may check to see if they plan on carrying them.

I can't blame it on my age... it is the big 5 gallon bucket of cast-offs blanks that I have in corner of the workshop that I keep as a reminder that I still more practice to get to perfection

Ditto what Zig said. I too made my own until I invested in set of trimmers for every size. Realize that may not be an option for everyone, however point being, made the sleeves as I needed them, still have them, work well.
