This turning mandrel features a 1/2'' diameter shoulder, making it ideal for use with some of our smaller turning kits, including our Measuring Spoon and Measuring Cup Turning Hardware Kits (#72964 and #78976, sold separately). The smooth shaft is secured in your lathe drill chuck, while the #8-32 threaded post screws into your turning kit hardware.
