bent mandrel or what. Yesterday I was turning a couple perfume pens. I wanted to get both ends turned down exactly the same which I have a hard time doing sometimes, so I took the blanks off the mandrel and put them back on the opposite way. When I started turning them I realized that the first cut only cut part of the blank, was lighter on part of it and completely missed part of it. So, I put it back on the mandrel the way it was. I had the same problem that way too. Now I know that it was ok when I turned it round - what happened? I am really lost on this one![?] I have never noticed this problem before. Is the mandrel bent? could it be that I didn't have my support set perfectly straight? PLEASE HELP!! Check the 'Show your pens' for pics of the perfume pens, they seem to be okay.
