Good evening, hope all is well amongst the forum. Think I'll introduce myself a little first. My name is Eddie, 21 years old and from Lincolnshire. I have been wood turning for the past 7 years and enjoy everytime I'm on the lathe. I'm new to pen turning and have run into difficulty. Everytime I turn down a blank the outer edge of the brass tube to the outer edge of the blank isn't the same measurment 360. I have turned 10 of these so far and have the same problem with every one. It's only half a mm but that makes all the difference as you know and it is rather annoying me. If anyone could shed some light as to what is causing this or what I am doing wrong I would greatly appreciate it ! Many thanks, Eddie :)
