12" LATHE MANDREL ATTACHMENT #D4088

Snug fit on my 12" lathe and the workpieces barely slip now, even on interrupted cuts. The drive dogs grab cleanly without marring the finish, which was my main worry. Way sturdier than the worn one it replaced.

Bought this to hold small turned parts that my chuck jaws kept marring, and the 12-inch length gives me way more room to work. It seats solidly and drives the workpiece without any chatter so far.

Wasn't sure a mandrel attachment would make much difference on my old lathe, but the grip on the workpiece is noticeably steadier now. The 12-inch size fits my setup without any fiddling, and turning between centers has gotten a lot less nerve-wracking.
