  • Press-fit, headed and renewable styles
  • Directed-coolant, gun-drill and specials available in carbide

Carbide Bushings FAQ

How much longer does carbide last?

Wear life depends on the material being drilled and the cutting conditions, but C2 carbide wears far more slowly than hardened steel, which is why it is used for high-production jigs.

Do you quote specials to print?

Yes. Send your drawing with material, ID/OD tolerances and quantity. Special bushings, non-standard lengths and other materials are available by special order.

Can you quote ADB, Boneham or ACTEK equivalents?

Yes. Send the Carr Lane part number or your print and we will quote the matching ADB, Boneham or ACTEK bushing alongside the Carr Lane part, so you can compare price and lead time.
