Omniturn 5/8 toolholder bushings?

[nate]

How do you guys hold your 1/2 shank tooling in an omni turn 5/8 shank size gang tool holder?

I looked at MSC for 5/8 to 1/2 reducers and they do not have them.

how do you guys hold you tooling in 5/8 gang blocks?

I get some cold rolled steel and make some 5/8s to 1/2" adapters.

I bought a 3' stick of mild .750 od/.325 id tube. I will be able to crank out some bushings with it.
