0.25" ID Drill Bushings | McMaster-Carr

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.

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.

Sleeves for Removable Drill Bushings

Avoid wear caused by repeatedly pressing bushings into your jig fixture. Instead, press fit these sleeves into the fixture one time, and then swap bushings with different IDs in and out to change the size of your bit.

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.

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.

Removable Drill Bushings for Thin Metal

Insert these bushings into a drilled hole and twist the lock ring to secure. Reusable and easy to replace, they are held in in place by a separate locking part.

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.

Sleeve Bearings

Mil. Spec. Oil-Embedded Sleeve Bearings

To ensure compatibility with other parts, the materials and dimensions of these bearings meet strict military standards. Also known as Oilite® bearings, they are porous bronze, so startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.

High-Temperature Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Graphite provides a layer of dry lubrication that can operate in high-temperature environments.

Light Duty Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Use where high loads and speeds are not required.

Panel-Mount Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

Permanently and securely install these self-clinching bearings into panels, with no need for precision-bored holes or machined mounts.

Chemical-Resistant Dry-Running Sleeve Bearings

These bearings stand up to a wider range of chemicals than other dry-running sleeve bearings.

Multipurpose Sleeve Bearings

These bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Corrosion-Resistant Sleeve Bearings

The addition of iron and aluminum gives these aluminum-bronze bearings high strength and excellent corrosion resistance—making them suitable for use in marine and mining applications.

Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Light Duty Dry-Running Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Use where high loads and speeds are not required.

Ultra-Low-Friction Dry-Running
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Use these bearings in applications with frequent starts and stops because they operate with very little friction.

Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

Startup friction causes these bearings to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface. They’re flanged, so they handle loads both parallel and perpendicular to the shaft. They’re also known as Oilite® bearings.

Food Industry Oil-Embedded
Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The oil in these bearings is suitable for incidental contact with food.

Mil. Spec. Oil-Embedded Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The materials and dimensions of these bearings meet strict military standards to ensure compatibility with other parts. Also known as Oilite® bearings, they are porous bronze, so startup friction causes them to release a thin layer of oil on the bearing’s surface.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve Bearings

These bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Corrosion-Resistant Flanged Sleeve Bearings

The addition of iron and aluminum gives these aluminum-bronze bearings high strength and excellent corrosion resistance—making them suitable for use in marine and mining applications.

Multipurpose Flanged Sleeve
Bearings with Certification

Furnished with a traceable lot number and material test report, these bronze bearings are strong, wear resistant, and excellent at handling shock loads.

Mounted Bearings

High-Speed Dry-Running Mounted Sleeve Bearings

Made of acetal blended with PTFE, these bearings handle speeds twice as fast as standard sleeve bearings.

Vibration-Damping Oil-Embedded
Mounted Sleeve Bearings

With a flexible layer of neoprene sandwiched between an oil-embedded bronze bearing and rigid steel shell, these bearings reduce wear and machinery noise.

Light Duty Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Use these nylon or acetal bearings for light loads. The closed backing blocks out dust and other contaminants.

Food Industry Dry-Running Mounted
Sleeve Bearings with Two-Bolt Flange

Made of FDA listed PEEK, these bearings are suitable for direct contact with food. The closed backing blocks out dust and other contaminants.

Multipurpose Plastic

Wear-Resistant Nylon Tubes

Also known as nylon 6/6, this general purpose material is often used for bearings, gears, valve seats, and other high-wear parts.

Slippery UHMW Polyethylene Tubes

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

Wear-Resistant Easy-to-Machine
Delrin® Acetal Resin Tubes

Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.
