Looking for Bushings

[gt64155]

I just received a few PSI bolt action kits. I know that I can but bushings from PSI, but everything I turn is between centers. I don't have a mandrel. Anyone know where I can get some bushings that don't need a mandrel?


Thanks,
Bill

As mentioned above, but you can (and I do) turn between center with the PSI bolt action bushings. You can also ditch the bushing and use your caliper. The BA is pretty simper given the diameter of the barrel is the same at both ends. I turn many pens with the mandrel type bushings (where I can't get TBC bushings). It has worked out fine for me.

Thank you both for the quick answers. I'll order a pair and give it a try.

If you have a 3 or 4 jaw chuck and a drill chuck (and a set of center drills), you can drill "regular" bushing to the proper 60* taper. Well, except for the 7mm ones.
