[Dalboy]

You do you think has the best pen mandrels as I am looking to buy 1 preferably in a kit. I have seen the one at Stile and Bates. Any recommendations appreciated

I would suggest you have a good look at this site before stiles & Bates
Their advanced evolution 9 system looks very good and kits at £52.00 is cheaper than S & B

edit. Looks like greggy beat me to it with a cheaper one. :lol:

Metal lathe turner friend was of the same opinion

Thanks everyone I have a 1mt in the lathe which does not present a problem as most companies seem to sell in different formats just need to decide now which to go for. The only reason I singled out S & B is they are just down the road from me
