Hey everyone,
Here is a poll for those who turn between centers. Do you use bushings, or not?
Here is a poll for those who turn between centers. Do you use bushings, or not?
Once again you don't have the right or enough questions in the poll . I round my stock between centers then drill on the lathe , THEN use stock bushings to turn to final size and remove them for finishing . Most who drill on the lathe don't use bushings for rounding the blank .
None of the above. I do use bushings sometimes, i don't use bushings all the time. When I do use bushings I use JohnnyCNC's bushings.
I make my own bushings that are designed to fit the tubes for turning between centers with just enough shoulder to keep them from slipping into the tube.
I turn to round with no bushings, then drill (collet chuck) and then bushings to get close and finish with calipers.
