Need a 10mm barrel trimmer.

[LittleMissCreative]

Morning everyone.

I'm in need of a 10mm barrel trimmer but can't seem to find any other than a 7mm.

I can't make my cigar pens without one

Hope you can help.

Ruth.

You could make a sleeve to fit the 7mm to the 10mm tube. DaveyGee or Oke Craft have them.

Making a sleeve is the best way - you can drill a 1/4 hole in a piece of wood the same length as your barrel trimmer and then turn this down to the right size to slip inside the cigar barrel.

I like that idea Stewart.

I used an resin blank that i didn't like, turned it down like Peter and Stewart said.

If you look on Dans site Ruth http://taylorsmirfield.co.uk/collections/pen-making-accessories/products/barrel-trimmer you will see the one he does comes with 4 differant trimmers, including a 10mm most of these trimmers come like this accept for one of the axminster ones. As others have said you can soon adapt one by turning a bit of wood to act as a sleeve, also try using other size pen tubes one or even two inside another

Ooops, Sorry Dan I didn't put your details up, I honestly didn't think you did them.

As you progress Ruth there are some brilliant ideas on barrel trimming in our library using Sanders.
