Bushing question

[aggromere]

I bought some patriot pen kits, never made them before. The standard kit bushings are out of round or drilled off center. the first pen I made was slightly out of round at one end. I didn't see any TBC bushings for the patriot on Johnny's web site. Anyone know of other TBC bushings that would work on these kits?

I believe this is also called the "Atlas" sold by Woodcraft and other distributors.

Atlas is the same.... Or so close that they will work, if you use a caliper (which you should be doing anyway) to obtain the final dimensions.

Hi,

In my experience there is two types.

The black type sold at penblanks.ca and the chrome type sold at woodturnerscatalog, the one you want is the chrome type. I had similar issue.
