At present, PS:One only has tooling for "open end" pens, e.g. where the tube extends the entire length of the wood blank. Special tooling that PS:One does not currently own is required to make "closed end" pens.

Using a pointed lathe tool to create a pocket for the drill bit brad exactly on the axis of rotation is ideal. Compare it with the crossed lines. If it is substantially off center, reposition the wood blank in the lathe chuck, and try again.

The inserts contain reamers that will also trim dried glue from the inside of the tube. Additionally, the kit includes a brass tube that slips around the 7 mm reamer so it will fit tubes used for the Penn State Industries #PKPARK-PCL and #PKMONT-PCL kits.

Additionally, we have two sleeves that slip over the 7 mm trimmer and fit 10.5 mm and 12 mm tubes.
It is helpful to secure the pen blank in a vise, or clamp it while trimming, which can help prevent tear-out. Chuck the trimmer in a drill and then trim the wood square and exactly flush with the tube, taking care not to shorten the tube appreciably.
