Lots of posts here show bolts instead of pins and bushings for joints on projects. I would think pins with zerks and proper grease clearance would be better.
I decided I like machines and am looking for a product and was thinking about getting a lathe and making pins and bushings.
If I had a standard size ranges and prices, would any of you consider purchasing pins and bushings instead of using bolts? Bushings seem harder to find, and using custom made from a machine shop could get expensive.
What do you think?
