Using the Barrel Trimmer trim the ends of the blanks squarely and neatly to the ends of the brass tubes; this will also remove any excess glue that may have exuded from the joint. Take care not to undercut the brass tubes. www.axminster.co.uk...
Turning the Bodies... Slide 2 or 3 of the mandrel spacers onto the shaft. Add the Cap Bushing from the Bushing Kit. Mount the Upper Pen Body next, then the Centre Bushing, (mount the centre bushing so that the smaller diameter mates against the Upper Pen Body. You may wish to mount the Dummy Centre Band Bushing onto the smaller diameter at the same time.(See Note below).
Fig 4 General Assembly ... Note. The Axminster Pen Assembly Press (Part no. 200205) is a very useful accessory for these operations, as it gives greater control over the applied force and keeps the components in line. Put a couple of drops of glue (added security) on the Centre Band and press it on to the prepared journal at the lower end of the Upper Pen Body.

‘friction fit joint’ . Bad alignment etc, could cause the friction fit to deteriorate over time with the subsequent loss of adhesion allowing the pen to separate randomly. www.axminster.co.uk...
Axminster Pen Mandrels... These mandrels are machined with either parallel or Morse taper mounting and have a shoulder to assist with removal. They are supplied with a number of spacers for locating the pen components. See our catalogue for details as to whether or not you will need to purchase additional bushings for the project that you have chosen.
