Removable Drill Bushings
Replace worn bushings and quickly change IDs without needing to repeatedly use a lever press. Instead of pressing bushings in and out of your jig fixture, which can cause damage, these bushings slide in and out of sleeves (sold separately). By swapping in a bushing with a different ID, you can change the size of your bit and still use the same hole in your fixture. All are made to tight dimensional tolerances for consistent, accurate results, even as you change them in and out. They're also known as slip-fixed and renewable bushings.
Choose a sleeve with a length that matches the length of your bushing. To prevent bushings from spinning inside the sleeve as you drill, pair a standard sleeve with a lock screw, or use a locking sleeve.
Lock screws thread into a hole in your jig. The head of the screw fits into a notch on the bushing's head, which keeps the bushing from spinning.
Locking sleeves act as a sleeve and lock screw at the same time. They have a raised flange that fits into the notch on the bushing's head, keeping the bushing in place.
