>I got these pen kits & didn't check them out right away. They are a bit weird. The top is a standard 7mm but the bottm is 7mm for 2" then taper to 3/16" for 7/16". Any sugestions on how to turn them. All I can think of is between centers & hope I get the thickness right.

Thanks

John

You need the set of bushings for that kit. We need the kit # and where you bought it. Most kits come with instructions and tell what bushing set to use. You probably need a step drill too, although it can be done with two separate drill bits.
