PKMS2SET Pen Mandrel Saver Package, 2 Morse Taper 2MT

The pen mandrel designed for mini wood lathes has garnered positive feedback from customers who appreciate its functionality and ease of use. Many users report zero complaints, emphasizing that the product operates smoothly while allowing for efficient woodturning processes. A standout feature of this mandrel is its ability to apply pressure directly from the tailstock, eliminating the risk of bending that can occur with traditional mandrels. This functionality is particularly beneficial for those working with delicate materials like Koa wood, as users can safely secure the pen blanks without compromising their integrity. The mandrel is praised for its straightforward setup, largely due to the inclusion of shims and the Morris Taper design on both ends. This makes it easy to align drilled pen halves and prevents issues such as overheating or split-out, thanks to the live center tailstock design. Additionally, users have noted that the mandrel's build quality is impressive, offering strong performance at a reasonable price. However, there was a mention of dissatisfaction regarding the included 7mm drill bit, which some customers found to be problematic due to wobbling, negatively impacting its performance when drilling blanks. Overall, this pen mandrel appears to be a valuable investment for both novice and seasoned woodturners, providing a reliable solution for creating quality pen projects efficiently. **
