1" Mandrel

[W.C. Turner]

Hi all,

While I'm waiting for my neck to recooperate, I need to locate a supplier for a 1" hook and loop mandrel, for cleaning up the nib on the bottom of bowls. I've got 2", & 3" ones already. Where's the best place to get one?

Thanks,
W.C.

I carry a 1" mandrel (30mm actually) and paper too. Just don't put them on the website because without a little instruction, they don't work well.

Only use them with the lathe off. There isn't enough contact area to get a good grip, so with the drill turning and the lathe turning, the forces of evil spin the paper off.

If you are at the symposium, come by my booth and we can talk about it, or PM me with your phone number and I can call you.
