I have been successfully and happily turning pens between centers for awhile now. I use calipers to do the majority of my turning, but like to use bushings while finish sanding/polishing. Unfortunately, my usual source for bushings (penturnersproducts) is no longer making them. The bushings he made were perfect and second to none. That being said, I'd like to try turning some other styles of pens, so I need some new bushings. Can someone suggest another source for bushings? Thank you.
I'm also half tempted to buy a micro metal lathe and turn my own, but I have been told the tolerances on small lathes are not typically tight....
