I drilled some blanks for some 7mm comfort grip pens. Before I glue in the tubes, should I cut one blank short - to the length of the tube minus the rubber grip?

Agreed, I usually turn off the excess with a parting tool but you can eliminate the wood firstYou can do it either way. I've done both and they work equally fine.
Well try to add the grip about a hundred or so miles from any dust because they attract dust like honey attracts flys.hmmm I think what I will do is leave the blank full length but no glue on the part that will get turned off. Then I can turn the rest and just part off the piece where the grip is. I have done 1 other one before this - it was a save. I didn't have problems with dust on the grip, I did all the turning and finishing, then added the grip later.
