I have been using this mandrel for over a year now and it really makes turning bottle stoppers a breeze!! You just drill a hole centered in the end of your bottle stopper blank (if it's soft wood), screw it onto the mandrel and start turning. If it is a harder wood, I tap it with a 3/8" x 18 tap then turn as usual. Turning a #BS3 Combo Stopper/Cork Screw Kit? Drill a 5/8" hole with a Forstner bit about 1/4" deep. Change to a 5/16" Forstner bit and drill an additional 3/4" to 7/8" deep. Changing to a 5/16” bit allows for a little better bite into the wood when you have the extra ¼” gap before you get the threads of the mandrel up to the recessed 5/16” hole. Follow the soft wood or hard wood directions as above. This will recess the top of the cork screw portion into the stopper and allow the edge of the stopper to blend right in to the side of the stopper. It makes a very clean look.
