I'm finding that the actual bushings I'm using for slimline, roller ball and click pens are bigger than the kit components. I bought a digital caliper to make sure. I'm not sure how best to turn or sand the wood below the bushing size. Should I just use a smaller bushing that was meant for a different size pen kit, and then continuously measure with the calipers? Seems like a bit of a pain. I tried sanding down past, but that seems to cut into the rest of the blank too heavily and doesn't get right to the very end which is what needs to match the kit parts.
For reference: I'm a beginner using a mandrel.
Thanks for any suggestions!
