Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
Which operation first??

It really doesn't matter unless you are very trepid about making an error on either the ID or OD. In which case it becomes a question - what can I salvage to use the stock on another project.
But lets think positive haha. Ideally the OD, ID and face should be done in one set up that way the surfaces are to dimension & square to each other. That then just leaves parting or sawing it off & making the final face to desired bushing length (which you now have lots of good geometry to reference in the chuck when you flip it around).
Main thing is have a good understanding of your target dimensions beforehand. What does the OD have to fit, What does the ID have to fit etc. If its sliding fits, can you bring the part to the work while in the lathe to confirm, or are we going off purely measurements.
