DIAGRAM B – TURNING THE BLANK
TURNING THE BLANK
- Place spacer bushings onto the pen mandrel. Slide an end bushing onto the mandrel, wide end first. Insert the blank and follow with the second bushing (narrow end first). Add additional spacer bushings to close the space to the threads on the mandrel. Thread the lock nut onto the mandrel hand-tight. Bring the tailstock in snug with the mandrel. Do not overtighten – this could damage the pen mandrel. Lock the nut and the tailstock in place.
- Turn the blanks down close to the bushings located at the ends of the blanks. Sand the blanks down to the bushings.
- Finish the barrel with your choice of polish. Allow sufficient time for the polish to cure. Refer to Polish instructions.
