I lost my whole wood shop in a fire. I am thinking about buying the mark V. Can you turn stuff as small as pens. Sounds like adumb question but i have never even seen the machine yet.

nickoleyt,

I have knot done much turning, but there are several threads on these ShopSmith forums about pen turning. I am willing to step out on a limb and say: YES! Of course you can turn pens on the Mark V! Do a search on this site to visit the pen turning threads.

Oops. Others had answered you on a duplicate thread. I wondered why no one had answered you all day!
