Corian for sizing bushing

[jwoodwright]

I wanted a bushing as well, except I didn't want a center band. I had a ruined tube and some Corian... Works great. Cheap too![8D]

I also turned Corian mounted on another ruined tube to use for pen milling the 10 mm Cigar Pen blanks. My mill has a 7 mm section and I slip the Corian over this and it fits the 10 mm tube great. Have to remove glue from inside tube ist...

Thanks for the idea.[] I have a heavy hand and sometimes "Burnish" my bushings. I have plenty of Corian and a few "damaged" tubes. This will save that run across town to get new bushings.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to avoid burnishing your bushings. I've tried being more careful, but it never seems to fail, I end up getting the bushings.[]

I gave up on using the bushings for sizing pen parts a long time ago . I found that when they do go under size , it's impossible to use them for anything else but a rough size , then I turn down to size with , either , verniers or micrometers .
I just use them mainly as seperators .
