European Pen Kits

[Band Saw Box]

Hello all
I ordered some European pen kits from Timberbits but I forgot to order the bushings. Does anyone know it the bushing set for their European kits would be the same as what Woodcraft or Craft Suppliers carry. It would not cost all that much to order them from Timberbit (about $9.00 with shipping) but it will take a while to get them and I would like to turn some sooner then that. Thanks in advance

Dan, did you not look in the library? There is a chart in there with a lot of pens and their size and bushings.

I turn lots of WC euros. They have a Tenon in them. There bushing use a slip ring you take off to get the smaller tenon size. Other kits like craft supply do not tenon. I am not at home to measure them.
Go to each company's web sight go to the instructions and hey should give you the dimensions Of the bushing. You might find it on the pen instruction page or may have to go to the bushing page.

Timberbits 10.3mm and 9.1mm

CUSA .406 x 25.4 = 10.3mm and .360 x 25.4 = 9.14mm the 13mm = .5118

By the way when I have over turned WC kits, I can make a save on them by using a craft supply kit.

Bushings for the PSI Original Designer will probably work if it is a Tenon version for the Euro they are virtually the same kit. If it is a no tenon version I don't know if PSI bushings for the Designer NT will work.

The latest bushing and tube lists in the library are excellent. I especially like the new sortings by supplier and alphabetical kit listing. I printed them out and keep copies right at my bench. I find more uses for them all the time!
