In some catalogs these things are called "bushings" and in others they're
called "grommets". Regardless of what you call them, nobody (including
McMaster Carr) seems to have the size I need!

I'm restoring an old Boyer Schultz 612 surface grinder with a matching

base.
The bushings are shot - all rotted away - and I need to find some
replacements. Any ideas where to look? 3/4" groove diameter, 1/2"
groove
thickness, 1/2 inside diameter.

Did you try McMaster Carr?

Don't have time to go and look right now...

Also, are you sure what your looking for isn't a 'grommet.'

Good Luck!
