I want to start turning pens. I've been looking at the different starter kits from several companies and will most likely go with the starter kit from Penn State. The problem is I can't figure out what mandrel size I need. I have a HF model 45276 lathe and it has a 3/4 X 10 TPI headstock and a #2MT tail stock. I can't find any mandrels to fit the headstock. :BangHead: So I guess I have two questions.
1. Does anyone have this lathe and turn pens with it? If so what mandrel do you use?
2. Would the starter kit from Penn State be worthwhile?
