Groove Ballpoint Twist Pen Kits
Craft a pen that turns heads with the Groove Ballpoint Twist Pen Kit. This modern, slender design features a minimalist center band and symmetrical accent bands at both the tip and cap end — giving your blank the perfect stage to steal the show. The grooved clip channel adds a refined, contemporary edge that elevates this kit well beyond the classic slimline. Ideal for turners who want a distinctive result without adding new tooling to the shop.
What truly sets the Groove Twist apart is its full slimline compatibility. It runs on the exact same 7mm drill bit, bushings, and tubes you already own — so if you turn slimlines, you're ready to build this kit right now. The smooth Cross® style twist mechanism delivers satisfying click-free action, and the kit ships with a refill already included so your pen is ready to write straight off the lathe.
Features
Modern, thin profile with symmetrical accent rings on the tip and cap end for a clean, architectural look
Signature grooved clip channel — a subtle detail that gives the Groove its name and makes it instantly recognizable
Two-piece straight barrel — easy to turn, forgiving of figure, and perfect for showcasing dramatic grain or acrylic patterns
Full slimline tooling compatibility — uses the same 7mm drill, bushings, and tubes as standard slimlines; no new investment needed
Smooth Cross® style twist mechanism for reliable, refined tip deployment
Refill included — Cross® style ballpoint refill ships in the kit so your pen is write-ready right away
Well-balanced feel in hand — the symmetrical two-piece body distributes weight evenly for comfortable writing
Versatile gift or craft show pen — the contemporary silhouette appeals to a wide audience and pairs beautifully with any blank material
