Oudtinx Woodworking Live Tailstock Mandrel Saver #1 Morse Taper($18.99Value)

Description

Unique design to support the end of your penturning mandrel Eliminates damaged mandrels and out-of-round pen blanks by putting pressure directly on the pen bushing, not the mandrel Will work with all mandrels with a diameter of 0. 245" or less Compatible with lathes that accept #1MT accessories in tailstock There is no longer a need for spacer bushings Usage:

Mandrels usually bend when you tighten the tailstock center point into the end indentation of your mandrel shaft.
This system solves that problem because your mandrel shaft goes through the hollow live center, and rides on a precision bearing.
Your bushings sit against the center with zero pressure on the mandrel shaft. The pen tube and bushing assembly tightens up by turning your tailstock quill adjustment wheel.
Great for beginners and students.
Unique design to support the end of your mandrel.
Provides no pressure on the mandrel, thus eliminating any bending and vibration.
There is no longer a need for spacer bushings.
