Are we looking at the same kit?

[Randy Simmons]

Okay. I am getting into tbc turning, and I was recommended this site for bushings and centers. I found a set of art nouveau bushings, but it says they are four piece. As far as I know, the pen kit is single tube, and before you tell me they are for the rollerball kit, they are both for the ballpoint, I've checked.

Am I missing something?

The Ballpoint twist is a single tube. The Rollerball and Fountain pens are Two Tube.

 

[Randy Simmons]

So... Why the four piece set?

2 tubes; 4 ends.

The ballpoint set is single tube.

because they changed the ballpoint pen. it used to be two part similar to a Cigar pen.

I believe Randy is looking for for bushings for the Nouveau Sceptre ballpoint, which is a single tube. The link he provided says its for the ballpoint and shows four bushings. One would assume that a single tube would only need two bushings.

EDIT: I think Russianwolf solved the mystery.

The only advice I can offer is to look into turning between centers. Bushing aren't nessary then.

Thank you derek and mike!

Those bushings are for TBC though. I really manage to muck it up using calipers

Anyway, I have what I need now! Thanks guys

found it

that's the original ballpoint pen in the middle. And you can see why it was redesigned in my opinion. Ugly.

I just went and looked at the chart in the library and didn't find that kit listed.

Maybe somebody will come across this thread and have the measurements. You might already have bushing that would work or at least be close.

looks like this is the set you need.

PSI Majestic Squire steel 2 piece set [SQUIRE_STL] - $12.50 : Penturners Products!

If you go to pennstate's page for the pen it indicates the bushings as PKMAJSQBU which is the same as the Squire.
