Bushing Needed

[Chris Rosenberger]

I am in need of a bushing for my Craftsman molding head. I was using the molding head out on a job & have lost the bushing :mad: . It has a 3/4" outside diameter, a 5/8" inside diameter & is about 5/8" long. Does anyone know were I can buy one or more of these.
Thank you.

Try McMaster or Grainger.

Last time I needed a bushing (inches OD, metric ID), it was much easier to go to a machine shop and have one made than to find one. I spent three hours crunching the 'net before figuring out it just wasn't a standard size. The shop had it done in one day -- $20.00 for two.

You might also post at a machinist's forum.

Aside from Craftsman?? Id say take it all to a machine shop with a centerless grinder and ask 'em to make you one.

Chris: Your local bearing shop that sells ball bearings, pillo blocks, etc. will have it in bronze which should do just fine.
