In case I missed someone, Wishing Happy New Year to you all...
Started off the New Year with a tool.
After watching the last thread on Mandrel Savers. I thought I would have a bash at one.
I had a couple pieces of white delrin and an old 2Mt Revolving Center with good bearings. I got out my small watchmakers lathe and after a hour or so I made this. Haven't put any fancy finishes on it and dont intend to as its a tool for my garage.
Had a trial run and its the biz, runs nice and true and is so much faster then using the little knurled nut on the mandrel.
