Title: 2mm mandreks
Post by: Margram on October 15, 2023, 02:48:27 PM
Hello lovelies, does anyone have a source for 2mm mandrels. Tuffnells don't seem to do them in that size...

hi Margam, if you haven't found any yet you could try these, but may have a flattened section at the end that you need to trim off. it's what i use

That's what I use too. I trim them to the length I need and file the cut end to smooth it.
Much cheaper than buying mandrels and they last for absolutely ages.
