Review on πŸ–‹οΈ Enhance Your Pen Turning Experience with MAXWOOD #2 Morse Taper (2MT MT2) Pen Turning Mandrel and Deluxe Barrel Trimmer Kit by Jorge Maertz

Revainrating 2 out of 5

I love that it comes with parts to align.

Bought this to finally start flipping handles. I love that it comes with end alignment bits and that it comes with a tailstock. My problem is with the mandrel itself. I'm really not sure how it happened, but the mandrel started to bend everywhere. It has never been hit, pushed without the tailstock attachment or whatever that would normally bend something like this. Once it started to bend there was no one around to fix it and my grips started to move away from the bushings a bit. I replaced it with a mandrel that can be finely sized to my desired length and tightened it with a brass wheel before sliding the tailstock over the remaining nose. Much less mandrel is exposed to possible bending.

Pros
  • Doping πŸ”₯
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
