I thought I'd try this in spite of it being over priced. Should have saved my money. the center piece that the sleeve is on is way too long. Had to extend my mandrel to use it. The longer mandrel allows more tool chatter. Also the allen wrench that came with mine was too small or something because it rounded out the set screw the first time I used it. Overall I was very disappointed with it.
I wondered how this would work because it was different from the other bushings. It worked like a charm.

I only used it once and it worked as it should. I had to figure how to use it because there were no instructions for it. I think if instructions were provided, I'd give it a 5.

Excellent product.

The designer bushing sizing kit gives consistent shape between the top portion and lower portiion of the kit. This is much easier than freehand guessing for consistent pen production.

Wish there was more of this kind of bushings. Saves a lot of time turning designer pens.

Really like this tool, makes doing the cut downs easy.

The idea of this busing set is to have a convenient way to set the tennon size. This helps, but I've not done enough samples yet to determine how much it really helps. I'll report more later.
Great, is much easier to use than the pens center trim ring. Helps get a perfect fit everytime. I wish I had it years ago.

I really like this sizing sleeve for the Designer pen. It is a perfect fit and takes the worry out of marring the real center band while guiding you through a perfect tenon cut. I highly recommend it.

This bushing is a must have.

This tool really helps in sizing the barrel for the designer pen rings - this really speeds up my turning a designer pen without the worry of the ring coming of the tape - use this tool for every design pen, letter opener & magifying glass I turn - thanks for the tool

When you turn Designer Pens, you have to cut a tenon for the center band. This sizing sleeve makes things much easier, with a lot less hassle. Not having to tape and un-tape the center band saves a lot of time. If you want to save some time, this is the way to go when you're turning Designer Pens.
This is a great improvement above the old European bushing set - Thank you
Wish I had known that the larger pens are easier to make because they require less material removal. This was great.
This style of pen is my top seller. Since I purchased this sizing sleeve, I have not erred on a single tenon. A perfect fit everytime! A marvelous solution at a terrific price! Simply a "must have" if you turn the Designer pens.
