Another slipjoint question.

[Jim Coffee]

I'm looking for bronze bushings that are 3/16 o.d and 3/32 i.d. all the supply places I have looked at don't show them. Any ideas where I can get some? Thanks for the help guy's.

I had bought mine at Knife and Gun Supply. I just checked their new website and couldn't find the bushings. I sent their customer service an email to see, if they still carry them. They were the only place I could find that carried them when I bought mine. I'll post their answer when I receive it.

Thanks Plas62. Yea I checked them earlier and didn't see them either.

The few I have bought I got from Atlas Bronze.

Not sure what exactly you are looking for but Boss has them, http://usaknifemaker.com/catalogsearch/result/?cat=0&q=bushing

I may have missed them, but smallest ID I saw was 1/8" and Jim is looking for 3/32" ID.

Hey Jim,
When I get to the shop later I'll check,I may have some. I make my own but I quit using them on my slipjoints. What's the minimum thickness you need?

 

[Jim Coffee]

Thanks Calvin. I was going to use 1/8" for the blade so anything wider then that will work.
What are you using for pin stock?

 

[Calvin Robinson]

All I have are ones I made for my .0938" and .075" blades.
I use 416 stainless for all my pins.

 

[Jim Coffee]

Calvin. Would you sell me a few of the .938 bushings? Thanks
