The V-shaped channels hold both round and square blanks. Therefore it can be used for other applications, ie: drilling dowels. <\/p>\n<p>The centering is done by a screw mechanism that moves the jaws the same distance from center in either direction. <\/p>\n<p>It is made from anodized aluminum and steel and the spindle has brass bushings for smooth operation.<\/p>\n<p>I have found that it works great for both drilling the holes in the pen blanks for the brass cylinders and the milling of the pen blank ends.<\/p>\n<p>I usually do a couple of pens at a time so this has really speeded up this part of the pen making process.<\/p>\n<p>Back to the shop&#8230;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I got tired of all the fiddling around trying to keep my pen blanks straight that I opted for the Self Centering Pen Drilling Vise from Lee Valley.
