All bushing have the same ID to fit one mandrel.
I have several bushing sets but have moved to turning between centers. Quality calipers are one thing needed for TBC. Here is a photo of my setup.
So are those collets used on each end to hold stubs for the nylon bushings/centers?
I get terrible chatter when I turn two at a time.using a mandrel you can get both blanks on the mandrel at the same time.
. . .
with TBC there would be a lot of switching back and forth to make sure the halves fit together.
Naawww. That is what the mind is for! :biggrin: We have two sides of our brains; just hold one image on one side and the other image on the other side and visualize! :biggrin:
BTW, do you still have your old BT3x or did you get a new saw?
