The Rotur Deluxe Colleted Pen Mandrel is a product that has been designed and manufactured in the UK specifically for pen turning professionals. Similar to the Original Pen Mandrel, this Deluxe version features a unique quarter-turn action that clamps the shaft in place with precision and accuracy.
One of the key benefits of the Colleted Pen Mandrel is its completely dust-free Brass collet design, which remains hidden during the turning process. This helps to prevent dust and debris from accumulating in the mandrel and ensures the shaft remains central when turning. The precision ground shaft ensures maximum stability and accuracy during the turning process.
Overall, the new Colleted Pen Mandrel is a top-quality tool that is ideal for professional pen turning applications. Its precise engineering and dust-free design make it a must-have for anyone looking to create high-quality, handmade writing instruments with ease and accuracy.
How to identify the Morse taper size of a lathe
To determine the Morse taper (MT) size of a woodturning lathe simply measure the internal diameter of the headstock spindle or tailstock quill.
1MT is approximately 12mm
2MT is approximately 18mm
3MT is approximately 24mm
Most woodturning lathes are either 1MT or 2MT and have the same size tapers at both ends. However, some older lathes can have different sizes for the headstock and tailstock.
