1) Submitted by Ginger, from Muskegon, MI on 8/4/2009 Customer Rating: This mandrel works very well and seems to hold the pieces without slippage.

2) Submitted by Mike Picconatto, from Staples, MN on 1/6/2009 Customer Rating: Needed a morse taper fast because I had purchased the wrong size to use on a friend's lathe. Price was right, shipping quick, worked like a charm. Turning pens is going to become a new vice...

3) Submitted by Brett St.Clair, from San Jose, CA on 12/12/2009 Customer Rating: This mandrel works exceptionaly well. I got this as part of the pen kit. IMPORTANT COMMENT - Ensure that when you recieve the mandrel that the dimple end of the mandrel is NOT installed in the #2MT end. You will need the dimple end to engage your live center of your lathe tailstock. Mine was installed backwards (no dimple on tailstock side). After two days of turning with a rigged up adapter piece for my live center I discovered this. I unscrewed the spindel, turned it over, and screwed it back in. Works MUCH better now.
