Not much to say really. They're cylindrical pieces of metal and they work.

the bushings are necessary in all cases. I purchased extra bushings to allow me to spread the work enough to all my tool rest between the head stock and tail stock.

These are great for making the 7mm pens and pencils. They are hard enough to withstand sanding your pen blank. The price is Ok also.

Keep several extras handy.

I use them all the time

The slimline kits are very easy to make and look good when they are completed. The price is right and the people I have given them to were very pleased.

Absolutely indespensible!!
The only downside to these are that they run out every so often. I use them for multiple things, not just the 7mm pens.

These bushings work very well & seem to last a very long time. Sizing your blanks, to fit the pen kits, are easy with this kit.

I have used most of your bushings and found them to accurate,and usually last a long time,unless you gouge them instead of the wood. I have tried others such as the step and found they spread the brass tube. Keep up the good work

Good value for the price

The bushings are sized just perfectly for use with the Morse Taper Maxi-Mandrels. They are also sized OD so that you can turn your E-Z pen blanks to that exact size. There is no guess work when it comes to using these bushing sets. They are exactly what I need for turning pens.

perfect for the task
These are good bushings I would like for them to be a little longer because I turn a lot of antlers and with these they are a little close together or I have to use two for spacing.

I ordered these to replace the ones that I have gotten too close with the sandpaper and needed the original diameter again. We have made so many items using these that I was amazed when I put a digital caliper on the used one at how much we had reduced the size over the years. No problem with them except us getting too sloppy when we sand.
It's always a good idea to order new spacers with each order. They are affordable and very easy to lose. So why not order new ones each time you order?
Not only are these a must in making any slimline pen they also work great as spacers for other projects so you can keep your project tight on the mandrel. I've got about 4 sets of these and use them for 99% of my projects.
