Preparing the Blank:

• Cut blank to the length of the tube, adding 1/16” for squaring off.

• Drill 7mm hole lengthwise through the blank.

• Spread glue over tube, insert the tube into the blank with a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside.

• Center the tube lengthwise inside the blank.

• When the glue is dry, square the ends of the blanks, making sure the trimmed ends are 90º to the tube. Use a 7mm

barrel trimmer, or a pen blank squaring jig on a disc sander. Take the excess material down ﬂ ush to the ends of the

tubes. Do not trim past the end of the tube since this may interfere with the operation of the mechanism and assembly. Use a barrel trimmer to clean the inside of the tube.

Turning the Blank

• Mount the bushings and blanks according to diagram B.

• Thread on the knurled nut and hand tighten to hold all components in place.

• Slide the Tailstock up snugly against the Mandrel shaft, inserting the live center point into the Mandrel dimple. Lock Tailstock.

• Hand tighten the quill adjustment on the tailstock to steady the mandrel. Do not over tighten, it could damage the mandrel shaft.

• When using Mandrel Saver, there is no need for extra spacer bushings or the knurled nut. Slide tailstock directly against bushings and tighten until blank and bushings are secure.

• Using sharp tools, turn the blank down close to the bushing diameter. Turn the barrel straight or to a pro-

ﬁ le of your choice.

• Sand the blank down to be ﬂ ush with the bushings, gradually increasing sandpaper grits.

• Finish the barrel using your choice of polish. Allow Sufﬁ cient time for the polish to cure—refer to polish

instructions.
