I have a set and yes they will fit a multitude of kits just make sure you dont force them as they can flare the ends of the tube and crack the barrel.:thinks:

Quite a lot of my pens are turned using cone bushes it just means that you need to measure correctly and as said above don't over tighten

Thanks for that. I was thinking you would need to be careful not to over tighten or risk flaring the tube.

Successful cones I have seen lately cropped up in a Video where the guy made his in a double cone as separators almost circular for finishing using CA. with an outward dimple to keep the contact but nor sharp.
