Platinum Polaris Kits

These top shelf pen mechanisms are plated with rhodium, an exquisite, valuable, and extremely durable precious metal. Pens produced with rhodium plating will not tarnish and are very resistant to scratching and acids. Each Platinum Group Kit includes an attractive Identification Card that explains the Rhodium plating and provides a space for artist's signature and other information.The Polaris is a streamlined and artistic smaller pen characterized by good balance and comfort during use. These kits are easy to make using a single 3/8" tube each. The Pencil uses .7mm lead and the Polaris Twist Pen uses a Parker type refill. Turned using the Std Pen Mandrel and the Polaris Pen/Pcl Bushings.

Bushings: Bushings are needed to turn the project on the pen mandrels we offer. The bushings are used to size the outside diameter of the workpiece correctly for the specific project. They are also used to adapt the pen mandrel for project tubes larger than the mandrel shaft. Only one set of bushings are needed for many kits. After the bushings are worn down from sanding they will need replacing.
