Required Accessories:

• 8MM Drill Bit RZ-DB008
• 2 piece Bushing Set RZ-PCL151#-BU
• Universal Barrel Trimmer(8MM) RZ-PM012
• Uses 3mm leads

Preparing the Blank:
• From 5/8’’ square stock, the wood or acrylic blank to the length of the brass tubes.Add
1/16’’ for squaring off.
• Drill an 8mm centered hole lengthwise through the blank.
• Glue the brass tube in the blank. Spread the glue on the tube. Insert into the blank with
a twisting motion to spread the glue evenly inside. Center the tube lengthwise in the
blank. Allow it to dry.
• After the glue dries, use a 8mm Barrel Trimmer to square the ends of the blank flush
with the ends of the brass tube.
Turning the Barrel
• Place spacer bushings onto the pen mandrel. Slide an end bushing onto the mandrel,
wide end in first. Insert the blank and follow with the second bushing (narrow end first).
Add additional spacer bushings to close the space to the threads on the mandrel. Thread
the locknut onto the mandrel handtight. Bring the tailstock in snug with the mandrel. Do
not overtighten—this could damage the pen mandrel. Lock the nut and the tailstock in
place.
• Turn the blanks down close to the bushings located at the ends of the blanks. Sand the
blanks down to the bushings.
• Finish the blanks with your choice of polish and waxes.
