I don't have any of these kits. . Before I buy, I would like to know the bushing diameter (which matches the pen kit hardware).
This is a Berea kit, and we do have an IAP table for Berea kits including the Glacia, but the data for the diameter that I need is missing from that table.
Can anyone provide, please ? . Thanks for helping if you can.
Just for completeness, I would also like to know the length of the brass tube ... another number that's missing from the IAP table for Berea kits.
Just so you know where I am coming from, I don't actually use bushings. . I do all my turnings between centers using calipers to get the correct size on the barrel ends to match the kit hardware. . In choosing my pen kits, I am quite fussy about the material thickness where the barrel meets the pen kit hardware. . If that thickness is too small then it is necessary to use paint in the blank hole to prevent brass tube show-through. . I hate doing the painting and want to avoid it. . I know that the Glacia brass tube is just a little under 11/32" (the recommended drill size for the Glacia). . The brass tube is actually 0.338" in diameter, a number which is in the IAP table. . So if I knew the bushing diameter (or the matching Glacia hardware diameter) I could calculate the material thickness, and then ascertain whether I want to buy the kit or not.
