Just thought would share this picture as there was a post about using the Proxxon Mimi lathe for pens. As you can see my pen mandrill fits fine just used to make a pen and toothbrush handle work great.:thumbs:100_2853.jpg

Hi - Sorry for dragging up an old thread especially as I've literally only joined the forum because I found a post that referenced this topic.
I'm hoping if I can get a resolution and setup I may be able to contribute to the forum going forward.

I already have a Proxxon DB250 and was looking to use it for pen turning, as fathers day is coming I duly went with wife and daughter to Axminster to get a Mandrel and other bits - but they advised that because the Proxxon uses collets the MT mandrels they have won't work.

So my question is [MENTION=654]Winemaker[/MENTION] could you tell me what mandrel you have and the size and where you got it please - do you use a collet?

You seem to say you are very happy with it so I don't see any point in getting anything different if I too can get a working setup like yourself.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Padster
