Why do those of you that TBC use bushings at all other than getting close? Why not turn and finish with just 60 deg. centers?
Have I inhaled too many ca fumes?

Any time you want to know how to break a blank, just let me know---I've done------------I mean I've heard about them all!!!!
I make my own bushings but I make them about .020" undersize. I use the bushings to keep equal pressure on the ends and to keep from damaging the soft brass tube, not for sizing. I size everything with calipers.:wink:
The outward pressure from the 60 degree center can crack your blanks' ends before you even finish turning them.
