I am new to this forum but not necessarily new to turning or work bench engineering. My question is can we have bushings both ways? Meaning take our production bushing with holes intended for arbor use and by the use of a 60 Degree appropriately sized starter drill , cut a 60 degree tapered chamfer inside so we can TBC sometimes and still use those bushings on arbors other times. Can we have it both ways? I do not have a metal lathe but these 4 jaw one way pen chucks will definitely hold the busings. My plan is to use a professional 1/4 arbor system shortened and temporarily installed in the tail stock to align the bushing , then install a drill chuck with the degree center drill in the tail stock .
