I am relatively new to turning. I bought two coffee bean pen blanks and am having a difficult time turning without loosing beans. I am using an Easytool square end tool with a radiused blade and have a fresh edge and am going slow but I keep loosing beans. My blanks are now round but I don't want to turn any further as I am close to ruining the blanks. I have tried turning slow speed, medium speed as well as fast but get the same result. I believe that I am using a very light touch and I have the blade even with the center of the mandrl.
I could sure use some suggestions before I destroy the blank.
TIA, Joe
