Good afternoon all, Very quick question (i'll caveat it with I am away from my lathe so I can't check this myself), but what spanner size is needed to remove or fit the Robert Sorby 1" x 8 tpi to the Patriot chuck or to remove the chuck from the spindle. Is it 38mm (1.5" in old money)? Adie

Has anyone experience with the Zeta pen kit from Taylors Mirfield (UK) ? I bought some of the Zeta kits a while ago and only recently got around to using one. I thought the Zeta would be a direct replacement for the CSUSA Aero kit (which is actually a Dayacom kit). . CSUSA means Craft Supplies...

Hi all. Hope your'e having a good weekend. TM Zeta's......is there a barrel trimmer that fits these tubes correctly? I'm having to use a normal 7mm slimline trimmer with a brass tube on the shaft to get it to fit as close as possible. The TM website shows a universal trimmer but I already...

Hi I've just purchased some 1930 acrylic blanks, they are already turned and pre-drilled,unfortunately only one has a 7mm hole, the others are around 6mm and 11mm, in other words none of my pen blanks will fit. So my question is, are there any pen kits this size available and how can I find out...

Ive decided to have a go at making some rings using stainless steel ring cores as the base. So Ive managed to make one successfully, but it now appears that was a fluke! Problem is I'm struggling to form the hole in my wood blank to take the ring core and the issue is that no matter what I try I...

Well finally had a go at the Sirocco kits bought a bit since. Found I had to glue two of the bodies as they had a slack fit but that could have been down to me (am a wee bitty heavy handed) Rosewood I'm sure I got this blank from Jim. Noticed the gap and put it right afterwards. a Timberbits...

Hi All, I have made and finished 2 pen blanks, 1 is 47.5 m/m long and the other is 44 m/m long. The bore in the brass tubes is 7.47-7.5 mm. I haven't a clue how this happened as I thought I was making a slimline. My problem now is finding a 2 piece kit like the slimline that will fit the 7.5 m/m...

I have a Record SC4 chuck, i am looking at jaw compatibility. I have seen Axminster do a set of jaws called wood plate jaws, where you mount four pieces of ply on the jaws. You them turn the ply to suit your bowl. Will these jaws fit the SC4. I know there are button jaws but his just seemed...

Seeing Marks question about the eccentric chuck can anyone tell me if the accessories that fit into the c jaws will fit into other chucks without any problem. In other words are the tapers the same

Hi everyone, I hope your not too busy preparing your pens for the Christmas rush, to help me with this. A prospective customer has asked whether I can fit a "flexible" nib to a TM Alpha fountain pen. I have explained that I could fit a calligraphic nib from Beaufort Ink, in 1.1, 1.5 or 1.9...

Howdy Folk, Apologies for the newb-ish question, but thought it better to seek your opinions. When the Mrs bought me a lathe (Jet 1015vs), she included a chuck that was out of stock (axminster clubman sk100). Since I'll need to be drilling the blanks on the lathe, I've been looking at their...

Hi Does anyone know where I can get a spare clip for a Bullet Pen in the UK. A customer has broken one and wants a replacement. I could get a complete kit but that seems a waste. I have only seem the rifle clip for 7mm slimline pens and that will not fit AQ
