Bushings

Diameter stock – The amount of stock on the outside diameter (OD) of a bushing is based on the OAL (over all length) of the blank. Grind stock will be added to the finished diameter of a blank as shown in the following chart:

Blank OAL                              Min. OD stock Max. OD stock
 3.000” or shorter  +.018”  +.026”
 3.001” – 11.999” +.021”  +.029”
 12.000” or longer  +.024”  +.032”

Note: For stepped OD’s all diameters will be stocked according to the OAL of the blank.

Length stock – Due to the shrinkage variation, the amount of stock on the length of a blank increases as the OAL of the blank increases. Grind stock will be added to the finished length of a blank as shown in the following chart:

Blank OAL                         Min. length stock Max. length stock
 Length up to 2.000”  +.010”  +.030”
2.001” – 3.000”  +.010”  +.040”
 3.001” – 4.000”  +.010”  +.050”
 4.001” – 5.000”  +.010”  +.060”
 5.001” – 6.000”  +.010”  +.070”
 6.001” – 8.000”  +.010”  +.080”
 8.001” – 10.000″  +.010”  +.090”
 10.001” – 11.999”  +.010”  +.100”
 12.000” – 14.000”  +.200”  +.400”

Inside diameter (ID) – The grind stock on the inside diameter (ID) increases as the OAL of the blank increases. Grind stock will be added to the ID as shown in the following chart:

 Blank OAL                          Min. ID stock Max. ID stock
 3.000” or shorter  -.018”  -.026”
 3.001” – 11.999”   -.021”  -.029”
 12.000” or longer   -.024”  -.032”

Note: For stepped ID’s all OD’s will be stocked according to the OAL of the blank.

Warpage allowance – All bushings are checked 100% for warpage. Warpage is measured in one of two methods:

  1. Blanks with a single OD. – Blanks are checked on a flat plate with a feeler gauge. Maximum warpage allowed is based on the OAL/OD grind stock as shown in the following chart:
Blank OAL                         Max. warpage
 3.000” or shorter     .006”
 3.001” – 11.999”  .007”
 12.000” or longer    .008”

Note: Allowable warpage may be adjusted based on the actual rough blank diameter. To do so: first subtract the finish diameter from the actual rough blank diameter to determine the amount       of grind stock. Divide the actual grind stock by 3 and round this figure down to 3 decimal places. Please remember that .008in is the maximum allowable warpage regardless of the amount of grind stock.

2. Blanks with multiple ODs. – Blanks are checked on a center fixture or roller plate with an indicator. Maximum warpage (TIR) allowed is based on the OAL/OD grind stock as shown in the following chart:

 Blank OAL  Max. TIR
 3.000” or shorter  .012”
 3.001” – 11.999” .014”
 12.000” or longer  .016”

Note: Allowable TIR may be adjusted based on the actual rough blank diameter. To do so: first subtract the finish diameter from the actual rough blank diameter to determine the amount of grind stock. Divide the actual grind stock by 3 and round this figure down to 3 decimal places then multiply by 2.  The result is the maximum allowable TIR. Please remember that .016” is the maximum  allowable warpage regardless of the amount of grind stock.
