ID for this pen kit

[Tiny James]

So today I had to go looking for a chuck part that was attached to a piece of wood but I came across a pencil kit from the last Daventry wood working show, a guess would be 2014. I have the web site and part number but they are not giving me any results when I do a web search.


I was just wondering if anyone could help with bushings for the pencil in question

web sit is all the www's oenitsuk.com
part number is RZ-21#-G

This pencil has thin tub's so I'm guessing it's a slim line pencil

I've all so found some pen blanks round one's in blue lucky me

Have you got a photo of the kit as that may also help identify which one as there are some very knowledgeable folks on here OK I am still looking for them too

This is the Classic Twist Pencil Kit. Someone may have the bushings out there. They look like the Classic Elite bushings but are slightly smaller in diameter.
Hope this helps.

Why? you only need to measure the external dimensions of the kit to shape the wood to the right size.

I turn using tapered bushes and as Pierre stated measure as you turn why waste a kit even if it may be a poor quality one it is good for practice

Instead of the normal bushes hat have a step one for going into the tube and the second diameter for the pen size they have a taper which means that you need to measure the pen fitting and turn the blank down to that size. There is a warning when turning pens blanks using the tapered bushes and that is never over tighten the blank in place otherwise you can splay the end of the tube out as well as possibly split the blank
