To use your barrel facing tool in a safe manner, we suggest using a vise to hold your blank. Or, you can clamp a Pen Drilling Jig to your drill press. With your lathe or drill press turned on, slide the pilot into the tube. Apply moderate pres- sure against the cutterhead sufficient enough to remove the excess wood down to the brass. Take care not to remove any brass. Some pens will not function prop- erly if the brass tube has been shortened. Complete the other end in a similar manner. To trim barrels in which the tubes are slightly larger than the pilot, simply hold the barrel with your pliers against one side of the rotating pilot. Be sure you do not rock the barrel. To sharpen your tool, remove the pilot reamer and place the cutterhead in a vice to secure. The cutterhead is composed of hardened tool steel. We have found that a diamond file stock #2555 works quite well in touching up the cut- ting edges.
