Carr Lane Manufacturing · Drill Bushings
Oil-groove bushings have grooves in the ID wall that give coolant or lubricant a passageway, reducing galling and heat. Oil grooves are available on almost any bushing type, including press-fit, head press-fit and renewable bushings.
Genuine Carr Lane parts. Equivalent ADB, Boneham and ACTEK bushings quoted on request.
Pick the groove type, then the base bushing (press-fit, headed or renewable) and size.
| Type | Description | Install note | Pricing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type 1 | Oil hole: single radial hole feeds coolant from a manifold passage | Orient the hole to line up with the manifold | Quote |
| Type 2 | Oil hole plus external groove | Fed from a manifold passage through the external groove | Quote |
| Type 3 | Oil groove without oil feed | No manifold connection | Quote |
Oil grooves help when the tool runs in the bushing for long periods and needs lubrication to prevent galling. Replacing an oil-groove bushing from another supplier? Send us your existing part number or drawing and we will match it.
Not sure which type you need? Send a sketch of your coolant manifold and we will help.
If coolant comes from a manifold passage in the jig, use Type 1 or Type 2. If you only want grooves in the ID with no oil feed, use Type 3.
