Pen kit equivalents?

[PaulSF]

Has anyone put together a chart showing which suppliers' pen kits are equivalent to other suppliers pen kits, in terms of interchangeability of bushings? The reason I'm asking is, I want to invest in the better bushings that JohnnyCNC makes, and although he lists some of the kits his bushings are made for, I didn't see bushings for other kits I use (Gatsby, Tycoon).

First entry, the most current and comprehensive to date.

I was just thinking about this today. I am impatient and started my own list. If no one has already posted it, I should be done tonight. At least with what I have.

I have also found that all kits are not equal. Mic the tube and pieces in the kit before turning and drilling.

Definitly sounds like useful info.

BTW, IMO, miccing the barrels seems excessive...I would think calipers would be fine(also cheaper for those that don't already have a micrometer)
