Bushings

[Derek]

Has anyone figured out the correlation between bushing labels from the various suppliers? For example, Berea lists 16B for Baron, while Arizona Sillhouhette lists 19A. I realize that the A/B designation refers to the mandrel, but what does the unit measure represent? Without pulling out my micrometer, I wonder if anyone has deciphered the coding?

Thats interesting. I did not know that baron bushings came in bushings for a "B" mandrel. I like the bigger mandrel and would have like to have been able to turn my recent order of 100 barons on the larger size mandrel. I am curious as to why Ariz. sil. does not offer both sizes.

Berea 16B is for the El Grande.

Well, if I remember corectly the slimlines are 1A and probably the oldest kit. The number is probably just a "number" in rough order of the kin introduction.

BTW, if you free youself from your mandrel's you never need to worry about which one you need~! [}]
