Having issues with the bending or bowing of your mandrel and messing up the point on your live center? Than the Pen Mandrel Saver is perfect for you! Mandrels tend to bow or bend when the tailstock center is tightened into your mandrel. This Live Tail Stock Center rids you of this, since your mandrel will now go through the hollow live center. The bushings press against the center with virtually no pressure against the mandrel shaft. The tube and bushing assembly tightens up by turning your tailstock quill adjustment wheel. Pen and mandrel NOT included. Product color and/or appearance may vary slightly depending on product availability.
