the Pen Tip (f) into the lower end of the pen (See Fig 6).
Introduce the Double Threaded Insert (e) through the Lower End Ring (d), ensure
that it is the correct way around; (the flat surface of the ring is away from the
threaded end of the insert). Carefully align the lower end of the body (13mm
diameter) with the insert and press the insert into the body. Continue pressing until
the flange of the Lower End Ring is held against the shoulder of the insert
(See Fig 5).

Using 16mm (5/8”) Square stock; cut the blank to the length of the brass tubes
plus 2-3mm (88mm). The Pen Blank Sizing and Cutting Jig makes this process very
much easier.
Drill a 13/32” diameter hole through the centre of the blank. Care must be taken not
to force the drill bit, (this may cause it to ‘wander’ from the centre line), and
remember to back out the drill frequently to clear the debris from the hole. If you are
using a pillar drill the Quick Action Pen Blank Vice is a very useful accessory for this
task, it ensures that the blank is held upright and firmly in position. Moreover, if the
vice is clamped to the table of the drill, it will provide accurate repeatability for all the
blanks that require drilling.
When the hole is drilled, spread the adhesive randomly over the brass tube
(excepting the outer end) and insert the tube into the blank using a twisting motion
to ensure the glue is spread evenly between the two surfaces. Insert the tube into the
blank leaving a 1-1.5mm trimming allowance at both ends. (See Fig 1).

Warning. If you are using cyanoacrylate adhesive, exercise extreme caution and
do not allow the adhesive to come into contact with the skin. If this happens
keep the affected area from contact with any other surface, until the glue has
hardened or you can treat the area with a softening agent similar to Zap Z-7
Debonder (990099), and you can remove the glue.
Allow the adhesive to dry thoroughly.
Using the Barrel Trimmer; trim the ends of the blank squarely and neatly to the end of
the brass tube; this will also remove any excess glue that may have exuded from the
joint. Take care not to undercut the brass tube.
Note. The following procedure is written, assuming a Bushing Set is being used.
It is not a mandatory requirement; if you are not using one please modify the
procedure to suit your own methodology.
Slide a mandrel spacer onto the shaft of the Pen Mandrel. Add the larger Bushing
(13mm) from the Bushing Kit. Mount the trimmed blank onto this bushing. At the
other end of the blank add the 12.25mm Bushing, then slide the other mandrel
spacer onto the shaft; add the locking nut and finger tighten (See Fig 2).

NOTE. The configuration as described above orientates the pen body with the ‘tip’
end towards the headstock and the ‘top’ of the pen towards the tailstock. If you
prefer to turn the body vice versa, reverse the position of the bushings.
Tighten the lock nut to allow the assembly to be turned without moving. Do not
overtighten, this may cause the assembly to distort, the body to split, strip the
thread on the lock nut, etc. Similarly do not advance the tailstock centre with too
much force. The current bulk of the blank may be adding strength to the assembly
but as the body diameter is reduced, too much force on the mandrel may cause it to
distort/bow. Turn the blank down to your preferred profile, sand and finish to the
reference diameters of the bushings. Remove the finished body from the pen
mandrel (See Fig 3).

Note. The Axminster Pen Assembly Press (200205) is a very useful accessory for
these operations, as it gives greater control over the applied force and keeps
the components in line.
