Unsure on bushes

I've just bought a few pen kits that I haven't tried turning before and I'm a little unsure about the required bushes. Nothing expensive as I still class myself as a beginner.

The kits are from Pencrafts and they are Polaris, Vertex and Executive. I've been through the bushes section of the site and found a set for the Polaris but none are listed for Vertex and executive. I'm guessing these kits use a bush set from a more common kit such as Sierra or similar???

Has anyone trie these kits and know what bush sets I should be using?

Any help very much appreciated,
Steve.

Hi Steven, I have not tried any of those kits, but I would have contacted Pencrafts and asked them. :thinks:

Been making Vertex for a long time now,But I have a pool of bushes that I turn again and modify. The huge drawback as I see it in the multitude of and proliferation of kits these days is the task of keeping in touch with accessories and parts.The alternate that must be looking attractive to you now must be between centre turning.

Thanks all. I've found some on Axminster but I wonder why Pencrafts sell the kits but not the bushes.
