Cigar Pen Bushings

[wickford]

Does anyone know if the PSI cigar pen bushings will work with the WoodCraft Cigar Pen kits? I haven't turned one because I'm not sure they'll work, but I found that the PSI Parker Bushings work with the WoodCraft version of that pen, so I was hoping these would work.

When woodcraft ran the sale on the cigar pens, of course they ran out of bushings, and since I have the PSI ones, I'd like to use them, but I don't want to ruin a kit finding out...!!

Any responses are most appreciated!!

Thanks!

Do you have a set of calipers? That's likely your best bet!

Measure the hardware against the bushings to be sure, but I think they should be an acceptable fit.

I believe they will work.

I think they are probably the same. I picked up a few of the cigar pens and a cigar pencil today from woodcraft nice sale they are having. I used my bushings from CSUSA without a problem.

I think the woodcraft kits are from Berea. The PSI bushings do in fact work with the Berea kits I've gotten from AZ Sil.

But, if you don't have them already, I would buy them from JohnnyCNC and start turning them between centers. The results are MUCH better. His bushings have tighter tolerences than the cheap bushing from any of the manufacturers.
