This is an excellent pen turning kit that contains all you need to start making pens and pencils.

The kit is supplied with both a MT1 and MT2 taper pen mandrel, ensuring that it will work with all major brands of wood turning lathes worldwide. In addition the pen mandrel is extended to accept pen blanks up to 160mm in length, so no matter what size of pen or pencil you wish to turn this kit will handle it with ease.

The kit is supplied in an aluminium storage case with a bespoke foam inner to organise and protect the contents. The kit contains the MT1 and MT2 pen mandrel, 5 x spacer bushes, pen blank trimming tool, 8mm HSS drill bit, 3 x brass plated pen kits, 3 x hardwood blanks and a stick of woodturning wax polish. To use the kit you simply drill the pen blank using the supplied bit, saw the blank in half, insert and glue the pen tubes into the blanks, trim the ends of the blanks with the trimming tool and then mount both blanks onto the pen mandrel. You then turn the blanks to your desired contour, polish with the supplied wax, remove the turned blanks from the mandrel and insert and press the pen components into the turned blanks, typically using a parallel jaw clamp. You then have a beautifully crafted bespoke pen.
