I'm new to penturning. I bought an Evolution mandrel and a basic 7mm pen kit from Turners Retreat for my DML320. I'm quite pleased with the result but turning to a consistent diameter can test the skills!
The issue is this, I then purchased a Slimline Twist Pen kit from Axminster with the required bushings. Out of the three bushings only one slid on to the mandrel; the other two need some fettling/broaching/filing (depending on your upbringing) to fit. Not a great amount but significant.
Is this usual?
