Bottle Stoppers...

>I need to purchase 50 bottle stoppers-I "believe"

I like the chrome with the black rubber gasket...

***Are these the same stoppers? ***

PSI $2.25

Arizona Silhouette $3.19

WoodenPost $2.20

CraftSupply $3.19

Pens of Color $2,75

***Which turning mandrel works the best?

(I tried loging on the Yahoo stoppers but couldn't...)

Thanks,

Phil

>I use the PSI chrome stopper cones which I buy in lots of 100 at $1.95 each. The stopper chuck that they sell works fine. I don't know anything about the other brand cones.

>The boxes I have from WoodenPost say "PSI - BS1" and look to be exactly the same. I got my 100 from Woodenpost for $1.75 each and see that the link below to Augum's pen works has them $.05 lower. How nice to have the internet to keep inflation down!

I also use that BS1 chuck and have perfect results. I drill my hole smaller and use a tap in my vice-grip to pre-thread it.

>Phil,

I just received 15 chrome with the black rubber from Wood Turningz for $2.00. These are the ones that PSI sells. I'm pretty sure that there was a better price on 50 than this but you can call Ryan at 888-736-5487. He's a nice guy and will help you out with PSI products. Also he sells the chuck with the proper size bit for $8.95. Shipping is pretty quick also. I guess you can tell that I appreciate these people.

>Phil,

If you have #1 jaws or spigot jaws on your chuck, just go down and buy a dozen 6" long 3/8 bolts to use as mandrels. They work great in my oneway stronghold with spigot jaws. The 6" length keeps you clear of the chuck. I batch process about a dozen at a time,leaving the stoppers on the bolts until the finish is completely dry.
