Making some simple split bushings to go from 3/4" down to 3/8" for a a boring bar and small ID threading tool.
I don't think it matters much but was curious what would you pick for the material. My first choice was A2 annealed because I have it on hand but then I thought maybe cast iron would be better.
With the small 3/8" size I won't be feeding it hard but if bushing material will make any difference in harmonics might as well get the right one now. The boring bar is heavy metal if that makes a difference.
Anyone ever seen a difference in harmonics with using something other than mild steel or A2 for a split bushing?
Thanks for your time.
