Tondiamo Pen Making Kit Turning Mandrel and Barrel Trimming Set Wood Turning Mandrel #2 Morse Taper Shank with 7mm Drill Bit Mill Cutter Head for Pen Making Woodworking Lathe Accessory, 9 Pcs

The jam nut that holds the rod straight is so poorly machined that the rod has some wiggle in it that makes it impossible to turn a pen of any quality. I won't buy another one of the same brand.

Could have ordered the same quality from Rockler or Woodcraft for substantially more money. Quality tool, and built to last. This is not a toy, but a real tool.

This pen turn set has a knurled nut to tighten the material. After a few uses the nut no longer tightened for me rendering the product useless. Not only that, but there is only a small section at the end that is threaded meaning you have to have a LOT of spacers added to get it to where it can tighten to begin with. Its a really bad design.I ended up buying another set that has the shaft passing through the tail stock which solves pretty much all the issues I experienced with this brand.

This kit comes with enough stuff that I won’t be returning it…BUT.My biggest gripe here is the rod for the bushings and blanks to sit on is bent, not a lot, but it’s bent. The final product ends up wonky due to this. The mill worked fine for me, as did the rest of the equipment. I wish the road was straight as I’ll need to go buy a new one. Still though, for all that you get, worth the money I think.

Made well best product for beginners.

Works good, no problems thus far.

Haven't had any problems with this product so far. Works really good

As others have mentioned, the rod is slightly undersized so the pen blank doesn’t fit perfectly in and after turning, you will have a slight lopsided piece. Try another product.
