Penn State Industries

TO MAKE A PENN STATE INDUSTRIES WOODTURNING PROJECT,
YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING EQUIPMENT:

Starter Sets

Includes most popular accessories for the beginner.

Woodturning Lathe, Duplicator and Templates

You need a lathe to turn the wood or acrylic to create your Penn State Industries Products. The optional Lathe Duplicator Attachments and Templates simplify the task of turning multiple profiles; this system takes the place of hand chisel work. If you do not have a duplicator attachment for your lathe, Turning Chisels will be needed to fabricate products. If you already own a woodturning lathe and would like to adapt it for making our project kits you will need to purchase a mandrel. For further assistance please call Pam at 1-800-847-8984.

Mandrel for Turning Projects

This lathe accessory allows you to mount the brass tubes and wood or acrylic blanks to the lathe for turning. All Penn State Industries Lathe Project Kits (regardless of tube diameter) can be made on the same mandrel with the addition of appropriate bushings.Bushings serve two purposes: 1.Guide for the final diameter of the wood or acrylic on the tubes. 2. Makes it easier to mount the tubes onto your mandrel. Unless you purchase the pre-drilled wood or acrylic blanks, you will need a drill bit to drill the wood or acrylic to accept the kit’s brass tubes. (Bushings and drill bits are listed with each project.)
