About
This kit contains all the essential tooling you need to start turning custom pens. It includes three pen blank species (bloodwood, bubinga and olivewood), three gold-plated Slimline Twist Pen Hardware Kits, a 7mm mandrel with knurled nut and #2 Morse Taper, 7mm bushings, a 7mm Brad Point Drill Bit, a 1 oz. bottle of CA Glue, a Pen Mill Kit for truing up all mating surfaces and a storage case with 28 adjustable compartments. The Pen Mill includes four pilot shaft sizes for a wide range of pen types.
While some of the parts from this kit have already been used the tools remain useful for new pen projects, and Fox.Build has additional wood available for pen turning.
In addition to the turning kit Fox.Build also has a pen press, which is needed to put the pen together once it has been turned:
