does anyone know where I can get a chisel bush?

[danrobo89]

I have recently acquired a sedgwick morticer but I am unable to get any chisels to fit it. the whole is 30mm but the widest chisel shank i can find are 19mm. I'm sure this is a common issue and there is a simple answer. Can anyone recommend a solution to this problem, maybe where i can get chisels with a 30mm shank or a collet/collar/bush.

thanks in advance

Have you made enquiries on the metalwork side of UKW? I would imagine there is someone there who could make a bush for you? Just a thought.

I thought they grew on trees.

Hello Ian, I see this post was a year or two ago ! So I’m wondering if you’re still making an odd bush here or there ? I could do with one or two for a Sedgwick 571 -

Sure send me some sizes of what you need

That’s grand Ian thanks, I’m just trying to work out whats required exactly with this chuck (thing?) in the Sedgwick 571 (mk1((I think)) . The problem seems to be that when I tighten the grub screw that holds the chisel it pushes the chisel off centre and then the chisel binds on the Mortice drill. Is a bush, shim, or packer required to keep the chisel centred ?

it’s a 16mm chisel I’m messing with but would like a 19mm working.

how’s best to communicate direct with you?
Thanks
