After posting my first few pens heres (thanks for all the kind words) I have ordered myself some Cigar kits, with bushings. However my barrell
trimmer will not fit these bigger 10mm tubes, the only trimmers I have
seen have been these do-all ones that seem to be quite pricey at 20
pounds or so.

Is there a more ecomnomical alternative? Also will any shaprt 10mm
drill do?

Thanks

Matt
 
If you have a spare 7mm tube drill and glue it as if you were making a pen then turn it down so it fits inside the cigar kit tube as a spacer.

Do you have a small belt and disc sander ?

I use my one to trim pens , just stand the blank on its end up against the fence , done in seconds
 
Both my disk and belt sander are missing the fences (donated power tools!) Using a spare tube sounds like a cunning plan, anywhere sell just the odd one? All mine are now inside pens!

Thanks for the suggestions
