Hi all

Newbie warning

Hope this is the correct section for this topic, perhaps a mod could move it if not

So being new to pen turning I have bought a few kits to get me started, most use a standard 7mm tube so no problem with them but a couple are large fountain pens and take a much larger tube, 12 and 14mm, my question is regarding using a barrel trimmer on the larger pens, I have one of the Common universal barrel trimmers that goes from 7 to 10mm, but can't find anything that can be used with the larger diameter pens.

Are larger than 10mm barrel trimmer available or if not what do you all use when working on a larger than normal pen.

Thanks for any help with this.

Paul
