Stringing PKM4 & 5

[Latheabout]

Hi
I note from an old message thread that someone mentioned making this style. They mention the tube length as 60mm .
A shame you can't print the instruction sheets off the site as this would be helpful. I have to wait for my kits arrive before I will have instructions.
Any other members made these two pens and any comments you could share or pitfalls you found.

It would have been nice if you introduced yourself and possibly given us a link to the thread you are referring to. never heard of these kits. Is this a PSI kit or a Rhizing kit or some other kit. Hopefully someone can shed some light. Would like to be helpful but you give no details.

I found this site that sells them but you have to join to see them and I am not about to in case of spam. Do not like vendors where you have to join to see what they sell. But if anyone wants to see. https://www.strongink.com.cn/

Here is an Etsy site selling the 4 https://www.etsy.com/listing/642989757/pkm-4-pen-kits-for-wood-turning

Here is the 5 looks like a nice kit. https://www.strongink.com.cn/article-55-PKM-5+Pens.html


Here is the owners site on Etsy. His name is Daniel. There is a place to message him so I suggest you do that and find out your answers. This is about all the help I can provide. Good luck.

Hi John
The first link is the site that I ordered them from, I will check out the others, thank you.
Pretty sure I introduced myself when I first joined but if not happy to do so.
Cheers

I believe they are a Rizheng kit. You could check out their web site and get instructions from them.

That is the Rizheng Snakeskin kit. Instructions are attached. I really like that kit but I feel the front bushing is undersized. If you turn to the bushing I just feel like the pen looks over turned so I usually just use the pushing to support the tube and measure the front with a caliper.
