Welcome from me, too. I hope you soon find a better lathe than one made in China. There are some really good, used, British made metalwork lathes available. A model makers lathe would be fine for metal turned pens. I have a Rollo Elf inherited many years ago from an Uncle which would work well for pens. Made in Scotland, probably around 70 to 100 years ago and still working perfectly.
