Re: LF thoughts on this finger design please
Run the reamer pretty slow, maybe 500 rpm or so, well slower than drilling and be sure to use some cutting oil. Have you mic'd the bearings to be sure they are spot on .5"?

Re: LF thoughts on this finger design please
Teaching yourself the machining as you go...great job! You will want a press fit, not too tight as it can affect the bearing performance. Best to do some testers to be sure but I'd be looking for a .001"-.0015" interference fit. Can't do that with drills of course, you will need to use a boring head...

Re: Cast bellcranks
Neither of those plastic materials is strong enough for this application without a lot of extra material that you probably won't have room for.

Re: oilite bushes.
Good or Bad idea, I can't say for sure, but I used them in one of the pivots on my changer finger assembly and they worked great for me.
Note: I don't feel they negate the need for occasional oiling.
