Rotur Pen Mandrel

The Rotur Pen Mandrel Support is a specialized tool designed for pen turners. The purpose of the tool to provide additional support and stability to the pen mandrel during the turning process.

The pen mandrel support is made of high-quality steel and incorporates two bearings that help to reduce vibration and ensure smooth turning. The bearings are designed to be long-lasting and can withstand frequent use without becoming worn or damaged.

The tool is easy to use and can be quickly installed on most lathes. It features a compact design that does not take up much space on the lathe, making it a convenient addition to any woodturner's workshop.

One of the key benefits of the Rotur Pen Mandrel Support is that it helps to save the mandrel shaft from damage. If a center point on a traditional live centre is used, the point can wear itself and the mandrel. By sliding over the shaft and providing additional support and stability by clamping the blanks and not the shaft, the pen mandrel support can help to prevent wear and tear on these important components. This massively extends their lifespan and reduces the need for replacements.

Overall, the Rotur Pen Mandrel Support is a reliable and high-quality tool that can help woodturners produce precise and beautiful pens with ease. Its durable construction, easy-to-use design, and ability to save important components make it a highly valuable addition to any woodturning workshop.

Service I received from Ken was outstanding and exceptional in every way

Recently I needed to acquire an accessory for my Vicmarc VL300 lathe. After contacting all of the Vicmarc dealers in the U.S. together with all of the woodturning specialty houses with whom I was familiar, I had no success, the typical response being that the accessory I needed might be available in three to six months.

Then I discovered Ken Rude at Branches to Bowls. com in Canada. Ken is the Canadian Vicmarc dealer. I called and spoke directly with him - the accessory I needed was in stock - and in a matter of a few days I had the Vicmarc accessory I needed. To me, customer service is extremely important, and the service I received from Ken was outstanding and exceptional in every way. From my initial conversation - to timely updates regarding pricing and shipping - to follow up e-mails to assure on time receipt of my order, Ken’s service was fast, professional, personable, and customer oriented.

I could not have been more pleased. It is so good to have a supplier that is dedicated to providing quality Vicmarc equipment together with truly outstanding customer service.

Sincerely,

Kyle D. Opelika, Alabama.

Friendly, informative, customer friendly approach

I purchased a Vicmarc VL240 from “Branches to Bowls Ltd” in October, 2017. Negotiations, details, and agreements were all done long distance (phone and email). I was very pleased with Ken’s friendly, informative, customer friendly approach throughout the process (and since). Now I am enjoying an excellent lathe that is versatile, stable, powerful and precise! This workhorse runs for hours without any sign of heating...all sizes and types of wood keep changing shape...and I...enjoy!

...and I hum my theme song (from the Byrds)...”There is a season, turn, turn, turn...”

Ken goes way beyond

All my experiences with Ken Rude have been truly excellent. Ken is always helpful and this goes way beyond when you buy from him. He is always ready to answer questions, offer advice, and share his knowledge. I cannot recommend Ken Rude and Branches to Bowls highly enough. I just wish other companies gave the same level of service and support. Thank you, Ken.

These tools are like being handed the keys too a Porsche

Hey Ken,

Quick email to say how pleased I am with the Carter and Son tools. I’m re-learning how to turn all over again it seems but what a joy to get covered in a pile of curly shavings, lol. These tools are like being handed the keys too a Porsche after driving a Russian Lada. I’ve just started working with the bowl gauge, the spindle gauge is amazing, especially on higher speed, the shavings fly off.

The bowl gauge works so well at my lowest speed, it’s just so much safer. The only problem I have now is that all other tools fail in comparison... Starting too think about a couple more down the road once I get more time flying curly shavings.

Cheers,

Trevor, NS.
