EU Made Acrylic Pen Blanks

European Made Pen Blanks.

Some fablous pen blanks made in the UE and distributed through a UK. They are unique and feature lots of man made alternatives.

TIPS FOR PREPARING AND FINISHING THE BLANKS

• Sharp drills and chisels are vital, check on the sharpness during turning process.

• Reduce the feed speed and feed rate when drilling the hole. Less downward force and a slower drill speed will reduce the likelihood of blowout.
• Always use a sharp drill bit.

• There is a very distinct difference in the sound that is made when the blank is turning smoothly to when pitting is occurring. When this sound occurs I have found it best to reduce the pressure being applied until a nice smooth surface is re-established

• A highly polished finish can be achieved through the use of a micro mesh polishing kit that includes a grit range up to 12000 grit.

SAFETY POINT: Always turn blanks in a well ventilated area, use dust extraction systems and protection and use protective eyewear.
