New barrel bushing

[Old Draftsman]

Thank you Randall, The most complete drawings I have seen since the 60's when I had access to the Technical Library on the sub tender.

Love your mill too, I'm (jealous) trying to justify buying one but... I have an old heavy/accurate drill press I inherited from my father-in-law and a Harbor freight x-y vise I'm using for rough work. It works as long as I'm patient but a real mill, well I may just have to go find one.

I have talked myself into (trying) doing a lot of things that have added to my experience in many things. Had I not tried many of the things I did, I would be a richer un-educatied old fart watching daytime tv in my recliner. THAT would drive me crazy. My lack of knowledge is no obstacle either.

Happy New Year. Shoot safe and may all your shots be in the 10 ring.

Those Benchmasters were made between 1942 through the early nineties. There's a bunch of them out there, both horizontal and vertical (the machine is the same, it's only the head that is different, and some have both set-ups). They seem to sell for about $300 when you can find one.

Have a great new year.
