I have ordered a couple of ER 20 collet holders of the bay as well as quite a bit of tooling. This looks like turning into another expensive hobby. Don't tell the wife. I think I am going to need a bigger shed.

What equipment do i need to start making pens
These are the last ones I used.

The hole through the shaft is only 10mm though so I opened it up to 13mm with a glass drill as the steel is quite hard. It’s slow going but I’ve done this with 3 or 4 chucks so far. The 13mm glass drill is not quite long enough to go all the way through though so I made an extension for it.
