"thousandths of an inch" on a Cub? Where's that on my wood yard stick? I square up first end on belt sander than mark and cut with my hand held angle grinder then back to belt sander. Another way would be to make a split block of Oak with hole correct diameter and depth for bushing. To make the block, cut two pieces of oak about 1" square, 3/4" thick. Clamp real tight in a drill press vise and drill your hole with the center point at the split. Drill down the depth you want. Clamp the block together and sand the face so the depth is what you need for bushing length. To make the bushings first dress one end square than rough cut bushing material close to length needed. Insert into one half of block and clamp blocks together then carefully sand end of bushing on belt sander making sure you don't sand the wood block. You can get pretty accurate without sanding the block with practice.
