Our testers have loved it: 

“….Also you have much better control of the feed so you don’t destroy your blank. It can even handle drilling blanks that are not quite square – something that’s darn near impossible with a drill press.”

“Using the Pen Plus jaws for drilling pen blanks is just magic!  They drilled a dead accurate hole every time during my tests.  I could also use them to  square up the blank ends after gluing in the tubes, as well as gripping the blanks securely for any other task you might need.”

“Wow! I could believe the rock solid grip it gave me with a ½” square turning over 10” long. I was able to do shaping and hollowing right out the end – very impressive!”

To operate:

Simply mount a drill chuck into the tail stock of your lathe and slide up the drill bit to the pen blank mounted in the NOVA Pen Plus Jaws. Lock down the tail stock and wind and drill out the hole to take the brass tube. Being mounted on a lathe the turner has more control over motor speed and a much better control of the feed speed.
