Hi there. I recently bought a bunch of older pen kits from offerup, and there were no bushings. I have found most of them but I cant find a Woodcraft 06R07 set of bushings. There are about 15 pens that use this set that I have, but it seems they are discontinued. Does anyone have a set they could part with or even let me borrow. Any help on finding a set would be much appreciated

Thanks
Rick

The PKPARKBU bushings from PSI are very close to that one and are still available.

It's always a good idea to check actual kit parts and bushings with calipers before turning. They aren't always exact.

Here's a link to a recent thread discussing substitute bushings.

Bushing Inventory Spreadsheet

If you think this spreadsheet might be helpful to you, you are welcome to download it and use it as you wish. Whenever I'm trying a new kit for the first time (and especially if I'm not sure if I'll ever buy more than one), I always check to see if I might already have bushings that I could use...

I think I have at least one set of those at the blind center. I will check when I go on Tuesday. For the American?
 
If all else fails, just find a bushing that fits the tube and is a bit smaller than the dimensions of the pen kit, and use your calipers to sand to size. I do this any time I find a kit with out the bushings.
 
If all else fails try turning between centres
I rarely rely on bushes now for pen kits even when I have the actual bushes.
I found that they get worn down and they cannot be relied on to be accurate, even after only several pens

It looks like a Woodcraft number, but I can't find a reference for it. You might measure them with calipers then do a reverse search on those dimensions to find kits that it matches. If you don't already have it, the IAP Bushings & Tubes app is ideal for that sort of thing.
