Blank Preparation
1. Cut the blank about 1/8" longer than the Brass Tube to
allow for blowout or hole elongation.
2. Drill the blank with a 3/8" drill bit at a speed of about
750 RPM.
3. Scuff the Brass Tube with 220 grit sandpaper to remove
oxidation and roughen the Tube for better adhesion.
4. Prepare to glue with medium cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or
two-part fast-drying epoxy.
5. Apply the glue to the outside of the Brass Tube, with a liberal
amount around the end that will be inserted first. Do not apply
glue to the inside of the blank, as this will cause the glue to get
inside the Brass Tube and ruin the tube.
6. Insert the Brass Tube with a twisting motion into the blank
until the tube is equidistant between both ends of the blank.
Wipe off any excess glue on the ends of the blank. Allow the
glue to cure.
7. Using a barrel trimmer or a disk or belt sander, trim the ends
of the blank until you can just see the bright brass ends of the
tube. The faces of the ends must be perpendicular to the Brass
Tube and parallel with each other. It is imperative that the
length of the trimmed blank matches the original length of
the Brass Tube and that the inside of the Brass Tube is
clean and free of any glue.
Turning the Blank
1. Assemble the blank on the mandrel with the bushings.
Mandrel Setup. Each bushing has a step that is designed to
be inserted into the Brass Tube for stability while turning, as
the inner diameter of the tube is larger than the mandrel.
2. Tighten the tailstock and then tighten the mandrel nut that
holds the blank. Do not over-tighten the tailstock or mandrel
nut as this may cause the mandrel to flex, causing the blank
to go out of round.
3. Turn the blank to the desired shape, making sure that the
surfaces next to the bushings are turned to the same diameter
as the bushings.
4. After turning, sand the surfaces in progressive steps of
240, 320, 400 and 600 grit. If a higher finish is desired,
Micro-Mesh abrasives may be used.
5. Apply the finish of choice and polish.
6. Remove the blank from the mandrel.
