Expanding-End Lathe Mandrels
An expanding screw widens the end of the mandrel for a tight hold on the inside of a workpiece. These mandrels are machinable to fit the exact ID of your part. Mandrels are also known as arbors.

Wide-Diameter Range Lathe Mandrels
The sleeve on these mandrels expands to hold a range of IDs for better versatility than solid and expanding-end mandrels. They can hold the workpiece at any position along the sleeve. To use, insert the sleeve into the workpiece before inserting the small end of the tapered body into the sleeve and pushing until it's tight. Mandrels are also known as arbors.

Machine-Your-Own Inside-Grip 5C Collets
The head on these collets acts like a mandrel to support the inside of a hollow workpiece. An expanding screw widens the head to firmly grip the workpiece. It can be machined to fit the exact ID of your part. All have external threads.
