Well I have been turning for a long time, I'm even in the process of establishing a website, and i have turnes hundreds of pens. i have perfected a CA finish, I can work every material I've come across, and I consider myself ready (perhaps even late) to try the nicer pen kits. (jr's and such)
my question is this. do they offer barrel trimming sleves in these sizes?
I know I could turn wooden ones for this purpose but I cant imagine that everyone who uses these kits has custom wood trimmers, to me that seems impossible.
what do you guys use? are steel trimmers out there, because id prefer the durability of those...
I don't have a disk sander so i cant square them that way.
another question. will a 12.5 drill bit like the ones used for the upper barrel of a jr statesman fit in my drill press chuck? I think its 1/2 inch??
thanks to all in advance
