A pen milling device and a method for milling pen blanks therewith. The device has a body selectively engageable with a rotating apparatus. A replaceable cutter is engaged with the body such that a cutting edge thereof extends outwardly beyond the body's end surface. The cutter has multiple cutting edges and may be reoriented relative to the body if a presented cutting edge becomes dull or damaged. A reamer extending outwardly from the body includes at least one flute. As the device is rotated, the cutter removes material from a pen blank and the reamer removes dried adhesive from a bore of a pen tube secured within a hole defined in the pen blank The device removes all of the pen material extending between an end of the pen blank and an associated end of the pen tube.

An improved machining system for use in a CNC mill for the production of thin, hardened metal implement such as bed knifes includes a laminate mounting substrate with holes for receiving a pair of locator pins therein, at least one of the locator pins configured to displace longitudinally relative to the mounting substrate but not laterally which allows the system to accommodate a wide variety of metal implements. The system also includes magnetic cladding to protect the metal implement from metal chips being attracted by a magnetic element positioned beneath the mounting substrate to the finished product, allowing for higher quality cutting heads in the mill and a more efficient production of finished implements. A method of forming such implements is also provided.
