The mandrel works well, But the drill bit is too big if you use the bit that comes with the kit then the hole is to big to thread on to the mandrel. I had to glue the stopper in to the turning.

This kit could be improved with a thread tapping tool, to help when hardwoods are used.

Works very well. Could lower price by not including the bit. I had one already.
I like this mandrel/chuck-Can't beat it for the money

This is easy to use. Great for turning a lot of different things.

The 3/4" Mandrel/Chuck allowed me to quickly adjust to a lathe that would not accept my 1" chuck. This piece of equipment is great to have in the drawer.
For making bottle stoppers, you can't do better than to have this as part of your tool set. 5 stars.
