I have turned between centres using standard bushes and the problem I have had is black dust, which I presume is carbon, that accumulates inside the bushes as result of slipping whilst turning at high speed. The dust got on my hands when I removed the bushes from the lathe and didn't notice it at first before I had touched the turned wood. I was getting black marks on the barrels staining the wood so I stopped turning between centres. Would stainless steel prevent this?
