Pen turning supplies

I'm pretty sure I checked everywhere and can't find somewhere I can order just the twist mechanisms. Thats all I want. I don't really want to order whole kits just for the twist mechanism. Please help.

The twist mechanisms vary for different style pens. You may want to try a phone call to Penn State Industries CS and ask what is available as separate parts. I tried and got spare brass tubes for the seam rippers that they sell and they were very helpful in finding the proper tubes.

The twist mechanism is frequently known as a transmission.

Thank you very much. I searched for hours and couldn't seem to find a supplier to get everything. I can finally begin my pen turning adventures.
