Hi Matt,
I'v been using that one for months. One of the best out there. Don't tighten the live centre up to tight, no need too.

Looks like a nicely made piece of equipment.

I fancy this one for myself. Really well made but of kit

I have been using it for a while now and it's so much easier to use than the previous mandrels that I have used. As already mentioned make sure that you don't overtighten the tail stock.

Well I turned my first pen with it and was impressed how easy it was to use rather than the thumb screw type but I could see the complications if you over tighten the tail stock the pen below has more patterning than the picture show but very happy with it
