Thread: How to cut tubing to bush an oversized pivot

Lots of ways to do it,this is what works for me.I bore out the usually oblong pivot hole with a carbide burr that is exactally 1/8 in. dia.,tap in a pce of 1/8 in. tubing.Cut it almost flush with maybe 1/64 overhang on each side,I use a very fine jewelers saw also.,Than using an oversize carbide burr, I create a conical shape on each end of the tube.
Using my pinning hammer,I than peen it down to fill the usually dished sides, works for me,
