First off, Thank you in advance for your help! I recently just turned my first pen, and am hooked! I cant wait to turn more!
I purchased 2 bolt action pen kits from rockler along with the adjustable mandrel and 3/8 bushings, Drill bit and blank trimmer kit.
My questions:
If I got some slimmer pen kits like the 7mm ones. Would they still fit on my mandrel and I would only need new bushings? And 7mm drill bit? Or would I need a 7mm mandrel as well?
Also, the 2 kits I purchased were 13 bucks a piece! Are there any good 1 wood section piece kits at a reasonable price you can recommend? I am hoping to make quite a few pens for christmas gifts and dont want to break the bank.
Thank you again for your help,
