If some one here has a Forrester D/T fixture. I would appreciate info on bushing OD. Are they 5/16" OD?
I have a B-square fixture but they are now discontinued and bushings not available from them.
Thanx in advance..........pacrat

Further info. gleened from other forums.
All of the 4 popular drill fixture makers use the same 5/16".... .312 OD bushings. That is Forester, B-square, Wheeler, and the new one on the market Sun-Optics.
As of now Brownell's has them the cheapest at $19.95 for the set of 3.
Regular machinist suppliers such as MSC etc want half that for 1.
