My pen mill, a standard little mill kit from wood craft, is not working correctly!
The mill is cutting roughly and when you remove the blank, it is not square, it appears to have little waves all around where the mill cut.
I use the mill with my small (and terrible) ryobi drill press. I use the 10mm attachment for pens with large tubes, such as the 12.5 and 10.5mm tubes of the Jr. Gent. I press and hold the mill shaft against the side of the tube when I mill.
I thought my problem was a dull cutter head, so I replaced mine with a six blade cutter head from Daniel here at IAP, and the problem continues!
Any help appreciated.
