Bushing internal clamping tool

[brino]

a couple more sources for completeness.......

Beall makes some internal expanding collets in the US:
http://www.bealltool.com/products/turning/ix_collets.php
and you can buy single collets from them.

Lee Valley Tools is a reseller for the full set:

and if you want to make your own, here's a sample:

One could be made with whatever step size and depth you need for various bushings.
