WEN PM01 Wooden Lathe Pen-Turning MT1 Mandrel

If you have a mini lathe it may have a Morse taper #1. B you can also get a Morse taper adapter so you can use a #2 in a #1 which decreases the length a bit. If you want too turn pens you need this part.

Perfect fit easy to use

I like this mandrel. It’s easy to use and is very durable. I turn a lot of pens and use mine a lot. I’ve had it for sometime now and consider it a good investment.

I am just getting into pen making and didn't want to drop a ton of cash at first. Just in case I shifted to something else. A mandrel is a must have and this one checked all the boxes. When I received it I noticed there were only 4 bushings, not 5 as described. I then measured the shaft and it is 1/4 inch. Technically, this was a correct description. But it also says 7mm, which it is not. 1/4 is closer to 6mm. Not a huge deal, unless you drill out your blank at 7mm. This creates some play while turning. After a couple of practice pieces I noticed they were all off center, by 1mm. So now I just drill them with a 1/4 bit instead of a 7mm. Problem solved. Otherwise, this mandrel does as needed an does it well. Knowing this, I would still buy it again.

Great value for the price and it worked perfect with the Wen lathe. Perfect if you're just starting out turning wood on a lathe.

Excellent design centered on the mandral lenght being adjustable to match any job.

Perfect! Thank you

Doesn’t work on every lathe

Only one spanner

Its very good for the price, see attached photos for some of the pens that I made with this mandrel

Fantastic. Minimal runout. Though, that brass wheel was a bit of a poor design choice.

Parfait pour mon tour à bois king industriel

bien merci
