I have turned several pens...when i say several its several not in the hundreds. anyway there are two things i have questions about.
One is that after turning several pens my blanks once turned are not perfectly round and seem a bit oval so they don't fit the pen kits perfectly. is this an issue with the mandrel and is it time to replace it?
Secondly, I've heard that turning between two centers is a better way to go and yeilds better results, is this true and if so where do i buy the bushings to do this. thanks in advance for any help!
