Changed my mind we are in for a very cold day so i browsed some old pics no diagrams needed IMHO.
The Pen Wizard uses a threaded rod sharpened to a point to hold the mandrel ( I have already lengthened the mandrel thread to suit me) Tighten by hand note one locknut.
My mod using threaded rod a locknutted twist knob fitted, double nuts at the upright the end on the left close fit recess about 1/2 an inch note to suit the threaded end, this holds the mandrel that in this machine run to an indexing system so I cut an extended thread and locknut on the other end to fix the blank more securely.
Kind regards Peter.
