Good product even when over used.

I have made about 300-400 Pen on one of these. Just started bending. Great product. I make pens for my Car sales customers. They like them as a personal touch. I used this. I might need a new one soon.

Pros
  • Easy to use, make sure you get the right Morse taper
Cons
  • The MT Pen Turning Mandrel is designed specifically for turning pens, which means it may not be compatible with other woodworking projects. This limited versatility may make it less attractive to crafters who want a tool that can be used for a variety of projects

pen mandrel in my review

mandrel works well in my mini lathe. the piece for adjusting for blank size does not work as well as i expected. it slips and does not hold the blank tight.

Pros
  • Fits perfect and works good. Adjustment pieces do slip so I removed them. Otherwise it's good.
Cons
  • Learning Curve: While the MT Pen Turning Mandrel is relatively easy to use, it may still take some time to master. Beginners may find that their first few pens are flawed or imperfect, which can be frustrating and discouraging

Great mandrel at a good price

Great mandrel at a good price. Get a mandrel saver tail stock center or you will burn and bend the mandrel (any of them. Not just this!)

Pros
  • takes a while to set up for turning
Cons
  • High Cost: The price tag for the MT Pen Turning Mandrel is relatively high compared to other pen turning tools on the market. This cost may deter hobbyists or those who aren't looking to invest a lot of money in their crafting hobby
