Evening gents.
I took some Bushes to an engineering shop earlier to be put on the lathe to bore out the center hole. I would of usually done this myself, but the lathe i have access to was down today.
As i collected them few hours later, the guy had told me it was impossible to lathe them....(He didnt say this when i dropped them off)
Now, the bushes are most certainly lathed when they are made, they are too perfect not to be. They are not injection moulded as there is zero flash on the bushes.
He reamed them out which made a bit of a mesh of the inside, regardless, it was the sized i needed.
Any thoughts on the matter? I just cant understand why his tooling can turn down stainless steel like butter, but cant turn a rubber bush?
