You may need to pull smaller rod, and work a little cooler.
For hat pins you maybe better of building directly on 1/16 or .045 stainless mandrels.
I usually cut them to length and use a belt sander of something to point them as pins or tie tacks.
The smaller mandrels are a lot easier to burn through.
