Is there any way to use "B" bushings on an "A" mandrel or should I just turn between centers (new to me). Looking at doing a Majestic.
I HAVE tried to get "A" Bushings for all our kits. Trouble is some of the new kits come out with only "B" available.
So, we are going to have VERY AFFORDABLE "B" mandrels.
Andy's solution with the Beall collet is a great answer, if you already own that collet chuck!!!
Ed, I have "done dilligence" looking for "A" bushings for the Cambridge. Me thinks they are unicorns. After years of looking, I've never seen them.
Scared me, Andy!!! The WoodCraft bushings do fit the Cambridge, I just checked.
The reviewer may have purchased some "look alike" kits that were being sold (from Australia) and did not have bushings available. Later, it was said that the cap was a slightly different size than the Cambridge.
Yet another case where it would be nice if everyone used their own name for components, allowing Berea components to be readily identifiable.
WoodCraft buys from Berea, so it would make sense their "A mandrel" bushings would fit Berea tubes.
