Title: Turn a small bush please?
Post by: tt1 on March 11, 2018, 11:10:23 am

May be a shot in the dark, but is there anyone that could turn a small bush for me?  its for locking onto a motor spindle, the side would need drilling and tapping with a thread that suits the length of bush, it is important that the faces are flat and square to the spindle hole. Any help very much appreciated, thanks, Tony.

Thank you very much for your  responses, bush needs to be 10mm long, i/d is 8mm o/d 20mm would be ideal, + rather than - as I need a tapped hole about ctr length for a grub screw to lock it to the spindle. Not fussed about material as long as it has "body" to take the screw. Am happy to reward anyone who can help, regards, Tony.

I can look at that for you, Tony.  Any preference for the size of the grub screw?

Hi Tony SEND me a drawing of it & you will get by return post. I will need the spindle size as well & does it need to be a press fit or a loose fit.  Do you need the holes drilled & tapped for the grub screws & what tread size would you like them to be please. I generally use 3 mm. They work well.  Mick IN CANADA.
