Now I know this is an old question, but I have tried just about everything. Now my lathe has made a few pens 20 or so years worth and I really never had a problem before. I have checked my mandrel for straightness and have even retired my old Delta for a new Rikon. I know enough not to over tighten the mandrel and I still have an issue of the pens being just a little egged in the middle. I really am getting ready to go get an ax and start chopping. any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
