OK, I put my pin jaws on the chuck today, and just before lunch I was turning a practice pen... until I took that 'last cut'. Evidently my drill bit wandered off centre and I blew through the side of the pen. ah well, it was only a piece of cherry, lots more where that came from. Going to go out and mill up a couple of blanks, with a saw kerf down the centre, and glued back together. HOpefully that will allow me to get a pen to completion. Oh, and these are just BIC drill and use pens, more for tool practice than anything else.
