DESCRIPTION
The Rotur Pen Mandrel Support is an outstanding tool crafted specifically for pen turners. It offers extra support and stability to the pen mandrel while turning. Made from top - notch steel, this support comes with two bearings. These bearings are not only long - lasting but also great at reducing vibration, ensuring a smooth turning experience even with frequent use. It's a breeze to use and can be swiftly installed on most lathes. Its compact design takes up minimal space on the lathe, making it a practical addition to any woodturner's workspace. One of its main advantages is protecting the mandrel shaft from damage. Unlike traditional live centres that can cause wear on the mandrel, this support slides over the shaft and clamps the blanks, preventing wear and tear on crucial components. This significantly extends their lifespan and cuts down on replacement needs. In short, the Rotur Pen Mandrel Support is a reliable, high - quality tool that enables woodturners to effortlessly create precise and beautiful pens. Its durable build, user - friendly design, and ability to safeguard important parts make it a must - have for any woodturning workshop. 2MT: PMS2
Using the Rotur Pen Mandrel Support is easy. First, find a suitable spot on your lathe and quickly install the support. It should fit most lathes without any hassle. When you start turning your pen, just slide the support over the mandrel shaft and clamp the blanks. This will give the mandrel extra stability and reduce vibration. As for maintenance, since the bearings are long - lasting, you don't need to worry too much. But it's a good idea to check them regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice the turning isn't as smooth as before, it might be time to inspect the bearings. Keep the support clean and store it in a dry place when not in use. This will help ensure its durability and keep it working well for a long time.
