    Removable Drill Bushing Sleeves

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Bushing Sleeves. Removable Drill Bushing Sleeves.
    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. Also known as type L headless liner bushings, they're sized for use with removable drill bushings (sometimes called slip-fixed and renewable bushings). Made of hardened steel, they won't wear as you slide the bushings in and out.

    Create a permanent base for removable bushings so you can swap them out as needed. These sleeves have a raised flange that slots into the notch on your bushing’s head to lock it in place. Unlike standard sleeves, they don’t require a separate lock screw. Choose a sleeve length that matches the length of your bushing.
    Knurled—Knurled sleeves grip the sides of a hole to prevent rotation. Press or mold them into plastic tooling.
    Smooth—Smooth sleeves are slightly oversized for a snug fit. They’re usually installed in metal tooling—press them into place with a manual or hydraulic press.

    Removable Drill Bushing Sleeves with Head

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Drill Bushing Sleeves. Removable Drill Bushing Sleeves with Head.
    Use these sleeves to create a permanent base for bushings, so you can swap sizes or replace worn bushings without damaging your jig. Also known as headed liner or HL bushings, they have a flanged head that stops them from pushing through the jig when you drill. It also protects the surface of your jig from wear. Made of hardened steel, these sleeves hold their shape over time, even with heavy use. Pair them with removable bushings, also called slip-fixed and renewable bushings.

    Handheld Drill Bit Guides

    Hold these sleeves against a workpiece to guide your drill. Originally used for aerospace manufacturing, they help you create precise, consistent holes without using a fixture plate. They’re made to tight dimensional tolerances for accurate results. Made of polycarbonate, these sleeves are strong and lightweight. They’re also clear, so you can see the surface you’re drilling.

    Multipurpose Low-Carbon Steel Round Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Steel. Multipurpose Low-Carbon Steel Round Tubes.
    Also known as mild steel, low-carbon steel is easy to machine, form, and weld. It's widely fabricated into parts that don’t require high strength, such as frames, supports, and conduit.
    Stress-Relieved Heat Treatment—Tubes that are stress relieved minimize warping during machining.
    Seamless—Seamless tubes are stronger than welded tubes.
    DOM—DOM (drawn over mandrel) welded tubes are stronger than ERW (electric resistance welded) tubes.

    Oil-Embedded 841 Bearing Bronze Round Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Bronze. Oil-Embedded 841 Bearing Bronze Round Tubes.
    With a porous surface that releases oil over time, this bronze lubricates itself. Turn it into parts that you can't easily access to relubricate, such as bearings, well pumps, and turbine blades. The oil may burn away if temperatures climb too high, however. For extreme heat up to 700° F, consider graphite-embedded bearing bronze instead.

    Wear-Resistant Nylon Round Tubes

    Because these wear-resistant nylon 6/6 tubes have a slippery surface that reduces friction, they’re often machined into bearings, gears, and valve seats.
    Oversized Tolerance—Oversized tubes have an oversized OD and an undersized ID for finishing to the sizes listed.

    Telescoping Delrin® Acetal Round Tubes

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Plastic. Telescoping Delrin® Acetal Round Tubes.
    Telescoping tubes, also known as bushing stock, slide over rods and inside shafts to increase or decrease the diameter. Their precise sizing also allows ascending sizes to fit inside each other to increase the wall thickness.
    Easy to machine to close tolerances, these dimensionally stable tubes resist expanding when exposed to heat and moisture. They have a naturally slippery surface along with excellent wear resistance. Use them to make precision gears, bushings, and bearings. Delrin® acetal resin, also known as acetal homopolymer, is stronger and stiffer than acetal copolymer.
