Turning the Blanks (see Diagram A)
• Mount 7mm spacer bushing on the mandrel, followed by the tip bushing; wide end first.
Insert the blank. Follow with the cap bushing; narrow end first. Mount spacer bushing to
fill the space to the threads on the mandrel. Screw on the knurled nut hand tight. Bring
the tailstock in snug to the mandrel and tighten the knurled nut for turning.
Do not over-tighten the knurled nut, it may damage the mandrel.
• Turn the blank down close to the bushings. Follow with abrasives until the barrel
diameters are flush with the bushings.
• Finish with your choice of polish.
