Cigar and Euro bushing questions???

[Dario]

I have been turning Cigar and Euros from Berea.

I will need to make Cigar Pen and pencil as well as Euro pen using CSUSA kits.

Will I need new bushings or the Berea bushings will work as well?

Thank you,

I know the Cigar bushings are interchangeable, but don't know about the Euros.

Dario,
The only thing I have found in using different Euro kits with different bushings is the center band. Some kits will have a thinner center band than others. So when you take the wood to the bushing for the Outside Diameter of the top blank at the center band it may be a little fat or a little thin. Other than that, the bushings are pretty much the same. Before turning the blanks, check the thickness of the center band to the center band bushing and see if they match.

Dario,
I am not sure if this will help you or not but if you go to the CSUSA site and look in the instructions some of the kits give bushing diameters. This might help you or not. Just a thought.
