Beall Pen Wizard

• Filed under Admin with
   Our new Pen Wizard is a stand-alone ornamental lathe especially developed to create novel and interesting patterns on pens and pencils. It is capable of producing hundreds of different patterns and textures, including plain polygonal barrels with as many as twenty-four flats. Normally used in conjunction with a standard lathe, it can also follow simple patterns of concave and convex curves. It requires a rotary cutting tool such as a Dremel™ or Foredom™ and standard pen mandrels with 1/4″-28 threaded ends. Accompanying it are complete instructions and a DVD explaining its use, as well as offering basic pen making tips

 
 The Pen Wizard was designed by J.R. Beall and is assembled here in Ohio by The Beall Tool Company. With the exception of only a few small standard components, it is made in the U.S.A. Metal parts are mostly of steel, nickel plated to prevent rusting; plastic parts are of Delrin™, acrylic, or PDE which has been accurately cut by CNC lasers or routers. Though the Pen Wizard has been tested extensively during the several years it has been in development, we believe that only a fraction of its potential has been explored. We expect that you will investigate, refine and expand its possibilities and share your findings with the world. . .  To See the Pen Wizard in action here are some YouTube Links
