Drill Bushings

Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Made-to-Order Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Choose the ID, OD, and length you need.

Finish-Your-Own Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Larger OD tolerances than standard press-fit bushings allow for finishing. Bushings should be machine ground.

Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Also known as jig bushings, these metric drill bushings fit inside fixture plate holes to guide drill bits, counterbores, reamers, and other cutting tools. They improve accuracy so that your drilled holes and cuts are consistent from part to part.

Made-to-Order Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Choose the ID, OD, and length you need.

Corrosion-Resistant Press-Fit Drill Bushings

These bushings are made of stainless steel, which provides excellent corrosion resistance.

Wear-Resistant Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Made of durable tungsten carbide, these bushings outlast steel.

Metric Press-Fit Drill Bushings with Head

Even under extreme drilling pressure, these metric bushings won't press through your jig plate. A flanged head on the top of the bushing acts as a stop, preventing it from moving as you push down your drill bit, reamer, or other cutting bit.

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.

Made-to-Order Press-Fit Drill Bushings with Head

Choose the ID, OD, and length you need.

Made-to-Order Removable Drill Bushings

Choose the ID, OD, and length you need.

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.

Drill Bushings for Soft Metal and Wood

The serrations at the top of the bushing grip to prevent rotation and spin out.

Secure-Hold Drill Bushings for Plastic

The knurls resist force and provide better holding strength than serrations. Encase in plastic tooling.

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 Plastic

The serrations grip to prevent rotation and spin out. Press or encase into plastic tooling.

Slotted Spring Pins

Also known as roll, tension, split, and expansion pins, these pins have a slot along one side that you squeeze closed to install them into unthreaded holes.

Vibration-Resistant Slotted Spring Pins

Interlocking teeth help these pins resist sliding when exposed to vibration. They have a slot that presses closed when the pins are inserted so they don't flex after installation.

Coiled Spring Pins

These spiral pins remain flexible after installation, so they absorb shock and vibration better than slotted spring pins. They work well in holes that are out of round.

Heavy Duty Coiled Spring Pins

For tough jobs, these spiral pins are 30% stronger than our standard coiled spring pins. They remain flexible after installation to absorb shock and vibration, and work well in holes that are out of round.

Pull-Out Dowel Pins

To remove these pins, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull them out.

Flat-Vent Pull-Out Dowel Pins

The flat side of these pins relieves trapped air, making them easier to insert in and remove from blind holes. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull the pin out.

Spiral-Vent Pull-Out Dowel Pins

A spiral groove cut into these pins relieves trapped air but stays in 360° contact with the hole for a secure fit that's easy to insert in and remove from blind holes. To remove, thread a screw or tool into the tapped hole, then pull the pin out.

Hollow Dowel Pins

Pass wires and other components through these hollow pins.

Coiled Spring Pin Assortments

Coiled spring pins are flexible after installation, so they absorb shock and vibration better than slotted spring pins. They also have higher dynamic load capacities and accommodate wider hole tolerances.

Slotted Spring Pin Assortments

Slotted spring pins are also known as roll, tension, split, and expansion pins. Because the slot is pressed closed when the pins are inserted, they don't flex after installation.
