"Now I make multiple pen parts,slide the bodies on a wire-tie to maintain pattern then assemble a dozen at a time."
"I would have given 5 stares but you do have to be careful where you keep your fingers, I got a good bit while get familiar with the press."

"Works great for me, a beginner making pen kits."
"This is my first review of a product - what motivated me was the fact that I am always reading reviews but have never taken the time to give back."
"There is a lot less worry about ruining a nice piece of wood while pressing a pen together."

Reviews
"I would recommend this to anyone wanting a good quality Lathe Chuck."
"It is made by PSI, but Amazon has a better price and free shipping to boot. If they were smart the bottom would have closed cell foam under the plastic. The second case only had one chip on the inside so I repaired it with Plast-aid (also sold by Amazon)."
"Have to make sure your cuts are pretty exact to get it to clamp when doing bowls but once you mess the first one up you figure it out."
"I've made a couple bowls thus far using the worm to get the outer & bottom recess made, then the jaws holding in the recess to hollow."
"I Made my own Plastic Gasket to fit between the Lathe Head and the Chuck and began using the Chuck to turn a Bowl, it is much easier than using a face plate and no screw holes left in my work."
"Good, light chuck for a small lathe."
"If you turn a couple of bowls a month, 8 or 10 pens a month; this will get you by just fine."
"I want to return it for a new one but NOV 30 was the last date I could return it."
