Barrel Cleaner/Pen Mill Kit

Item #

Prepare your pen blanks properly! The trimmer trims the ends of the blank to the exact size of the brass tube and also leaves a flat edge on the blank for a flush meeting with bushings. Pilot shafts clear out any glue that may be left in the brass tube. Your pen assembly will be much easier!
(1) Cutter Head
(4) Pilot Shafts
(1) Adapter Tube

What I needed
With all the different size tubes used in pen making, it only made sense to have the various size barrel cleaners. I haven't used them all but the ones I have work well.

A great deal.
The Rockler Barrel Cleaner and Pen Mill is the best deal on the market. The quality of the cleaner shafts is superb. The 3/4" squaring mill is well manufactured using quality steel. The cutter blades remain sharp after many repeated uses. I recommend this kit to anyone who needs to clean the copper insert for pen construction as well as square the blank ends at the same time.

Pen Turning
MURRAY F on Mar 17, 2019
This should be easy to use, but I can’t even get the pilot shafts into the cutter head! The little Allen wrench doesn’t seem to fit the little threaded screw hole - which I presume is supposed to open so the cutter will slide into place on the pilot shaft, then tighten to hold it in place. Very frustrating! What am I doing wrong?
Ellen B on Oct 6, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Sounds like your doing everything correctly. Contact customer support.
does this also work for 8mm?
Noah S on Jan 26, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Hi Noah. Yes this will trim an 8mm blank. You attach the 7mm pilot and slip the brass sleeve over it. This brings the diameter up to 8mm.
What drill speed is best for the cutter head ?
Also cuttings getting stuck in teeth. Is cutter dull? Drill speed too slow, too fast??
Donn M on Aug 16, 2015
BEST ANSWER: If using a drill press, you want to use a lower RPM, similar to what you would use for a typical wood drill bit. In my opinion, I do it by hand. I turned a handle and attach the appropriate bit for the blank. Also if your cutter head is being filled with shavings, sound like your wood is to long past your sleeve. You really only want your wood about 1/16" longer than your sleeve, so you don't have much wood to cut.
What is the adapter tube used for?
Joshua D on Oct 10, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Sorry follow up. It says.

Tha “0” adapter sleeve (F) slides onto shaft (B) and is used for pen kits that require “0” pen size tubes

In other words there must be a pen kit that is between the B and C size and that proves a little extra thickness. (I have not used the adapter personally)
Does this cutter head have 6 blades instead of the usual 4?
Amy M on Nov 18, 2015
BEST ANSWER: Yes, the cutter head has 6 blades.
What is the size of the set screw? It stripped out and I need to replace.
Phantasms on Dec 20, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The metric allen set screw is M5
Does rockler carry a higher quality mill?
Mike N on Jul 22, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Yes this is a high quality kit.
What size is the shaft that you chuck in the drill
Peter H on Feb 14, 2016
BEST ANSWER: One quarter inch
