Barrel Trimmers (also called a Pen Mill)      Pen Mill Sleeves      Chamfering Tool


Barrel Trimmer

The barrel trimmer is an extremely useful tool used to square up the ends of your pen blacks after the brass tubes have been glued inside the pen blank.  The long rod fits inside the tube (which acts as a support and guide) and allows you to cut away excess wood until you reach the edge of the brass pen tube.  These trimmers can be used in a drill press, hand drill, etc.   Interchangeable shafts are available for the various sized pen tubes.  Both barrel trimmer's (1/2" & 3/4") are sold separately and the different size pilot shafts must also be ordered separately.  Please order by part number to avoid any confusion.

Please read the Shipping Terms & Information page regarding shipping charges before ordering.


 

1/2" Barrel Trimmer Cutter Head  BHW-748   $14.95

3/4" Barrel Trimmer Cutter Head  BHW-749   $21.95

Pilot shafts sold separately

Interchangeable Barrel Trimmer Pilot Shafts

Please be aware that the shaft diameter (the portion of the pilot shaft that goes through and is retained by the barrel trimmer cutter head) is 3/16" in diameter. 

Since these pilot shafts have a 3/16" diameter  shaft they may not work with other trimmer heads sold by other suppliers.  Our pilot shafts will fit the Craft Supplies USA cutter heads.

Pen Mill Sleeves

We now carry Delrin sleeves to assist in trimming the wood on the El Grande rollerball, fountain and ballpoint pens, the Churchill style pens, the upper barrel Baron/Sedona pens and the Sierra pen.  The sleeves come pre-drilled with a 7mm hole which allows the use of a 7mm pilot shaft.  As pictured above,  the Delrin sleeve slips into the brass tube, a barrel trimmer with a 7mm pilot shaft is inserted and trimming can begin.

The El Grande / Churchill  and the El Toro / El Presidente sleeves are sold as a pair - one for the large tube and one for the smaller tube.  Each pair is priced at $4.95.  The Sierra and Baron/Sedona sleeve is a single unit and is priced at $3.50.

Chamfering Tool

 

     

This handy little tool removes the hard 90 degree edge found inside the pen tubes and is used prior to assembly.  Once you are at the point of assembly you take the pointed end of this tool, insert it into each end of each pen tube and twist - the cutting edges will bevel the edges of the tubes.  The beveled edge aids in assembly and guides the tip, transmission, end caps as well as the upper barrel onto the lower barrel (transmission) without having to worry about galling or shaving the plating from the parts.  I demonstrate how simple this tool is to use in my video.

 

The outside of the pen tubes can also be chamfered.  In the event you experience a 'blown' blank the tube can be salvaged by trimming off the remaining  wood and glue.  In most cases a small ridge if brass will be found on each end of the tube which is a result of the cutting action caused by your pen mill.  Insert the tube into the three-legged end of the chamfering tool, twist and the ridge is gone.

     
This tool is made of hardened steel and it will last you a lifetime.  I personally have one of these tools and it has chamfered well over 10,000 pieces of rifle and pistol brass cases over the past thirty years.  Once you try it I know that it will become an absolute necessity in your pen tool inventory.  The chamfering toll sells for $16.95.   Click Here to order.

Arizona Association of Woodturners

Mesa, AZ Convention Center

You will not be disappointed attending this symposium!  Make plans now.


My personal opinion...
 
I am a forty-two year resident of Yuma, Arizona.  My home town is located on the Arizona/California/Mexico border along side the Colorado River. Our country has been invaded over the past 25 years and I am no longer willing to keep my head down and not say anything for fear of offending someone.  If my personal beliefs effect my business - I'm willing to live with that.  If I have offended someone - I'm willing to live with that too.

I have lived in this great country for over 60 years and I am not going to back down from any threat directed at the United States from any threat - foreign or domestic.  As Davy Crockett may have said: "Bring em' on!" (although I think the words may have been stated it in much stronger language).  If you would like to see for yourself what this country is up against take a look at this website mexica-movement .

If you would like to help out Arizona please consider donating to our state's legal defense fund by clicking on the link below.  This is not just an Arizona problem - illegal immigration affects all of us.  Should you believe as I do and want to help out then put your money where your mouth is.  70% of us living in Arizona approve of SB1070 and we certainly appreciate your support.  Someday we might be able to financially support your state in accomplishing the same legislation Arizona passed.

$5.00, $10.00 and $20.00 donations are most welcome.  Thank you for your consideration.

Update July 29, 2010   We are not giving up!

It was 113 here yesterday....
   
A man and his dog were walking along a road. The man was enjoying the scenery, when it suddenly occurred to him that he was dead.  He remembered dying, and that the dog walking beside him had been dead for years. He wondered where the road was leading them.

After a while, they came to a high, white stone wall along one side of the road. It looked like fine marble. At the top of a long hill, it was broken by a tall arch that glowed in the sunlight.  When he was standing before it he saw a magnificent gate in the arch that looked like mother-of-pearl, and the street that led to the gate looked like pure gold. He and the dog walked toward the gate, and as he got closer, he saw a man at a desk to one side. When he was close enough, he called out, 'Excuse me, where are we?''  This is Heaven, sir,' the man answered.. 'Wow! Would you happen to have some water?' the man asked.  'Of course, sir. Come right in, and I'll have some ice water brought right up.'  The man gestured, and the gate began to open.  'Can my friend,' gesturing toward his dog, 'come in, too?' the traveler asked.  'I'm sorry, sir, but we don't accept pets.'

The man thought a moment and then turned back toward the road and continued the way he had been going with his dog.
After another long walk, and at the top of another long hill, he came to a dirt road leading through a farm gate that looked as if it had never been closed. There was no fence.  As he approached the gate, he saw a man inside, leaning against a tree and reading a book.  'Excuse me!' he called to the man. 'Do you have any water?'  'Yeah, sure, there's a pump over there, come on in.' 'How about my friend here?' the traveler gestured to the dog. 'There should be a bowl by the pump.'  They went through the gate, and sure enough, there was an old-fashioned hand pump with a bowl beside it.  The traveler filled the water bowl and took a long drink himself, then he gave some to the dog.

When they were full, he and the dog walked back toward the man who was standing by the tree.  'What do you call this place?' the traveler asked.  'This is Heaven,' he answered. 'Well, that's confusing,' the traveler said. 'The man down the road said that was Heaven, too.' 'Oh, you mean the place with the gold street and pearly gates? Nope. That's Hell.'  'Doesn't it make you mad for them to use your name like that?' 'No, we're just happy that they screen out the folks who would leave their best friends behind.' 

Author unknown but I've been told that this story was presented in an episode of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone".
