Can someone direct me to a source for steel bushings for use in making jigs other than LMI. They do not list that they sell the 10 mm or 3/8 that would be used for tuner drilling in the peghead. thanks, Tom Harbin

Tom, try MSC. I think they sell everything. Also a good source for slotting saw blades for a lot less than the luthier suppliers.

Hope this helps.Don A38453.4980671296

thanks to both of you guys
I ordered some from McMaster, however they don't have the knurling at the top, but figure I can epoxy them in. Price pretty reasonable when buying a dozen at a time. Stock number 8486a91 in case anyone is interested.

If you can't tell, I am blushing, because, listed in the resources for luthiers is a link to a source for drill bushings. I apologize, but now we have a few more choices. many thanks, Tom
