Press-Fit Drill Bushings with Head
The head prevents these bushings from being pushed through the jig when drilling pressure is extreme. The head sits above the jig plate or can be mounted flush by installing in a counterbored hole. Drill bushings can also be used as spacers, shims, and machinery bushings.

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.

Drill Bushings for Plastic
Serrations line the sides of these bushings to keep them from spinning while you drill. Also known as jig bushings, they’re pressed or molded into plastic tooling to guide drill bits, counterbores, and reamers. They help you create consistent, accurate holes from part to part.
Also Available: Other sizes. Please select 3378A999 and specify ID, OD, and length.

Secure-Hold Drill Bushings for Plastic
Designed to grip slippery plastic, the knurls on these bushings keep them from spinning while you drill. Their hold is stronger than serrated bushings, so they can withstand more force. Press or mold into plastic tooling to guide your drill bit and create accurate, consistent holes.

Removable Drill Bushings for Thin Metal
Unlike most bushings, these won’t buckle the material or distort the hole when installed in thin-gauge aluminum and steel plates. Insert them into a drilled hole and twist the lock ring to secure. Reusable and easy to replace, they are held in place by a lock ring (sold separately).

Drill Bushings for Soft Metal and Wood
Serrations on these bushings dig into wood, aluminum, and other soft metals to keep them from spinning while you drill. Also known as jig bushings, they fit inside fixture plates to guide drill bits, counterbores, and reamers. They improve accuracy so that your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings
These bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads. They’re sometimes called 660 leaded bronze bearings.
Note: Dynamic load capacity is the maximum load a bearing can withstand at a given shaft speed. If your application’s load and speed requirements are below the values listed, the bearing will work.
