Press-Fit Drill Bushings

Press-fit drill bushings install permanently in the jig plate with an interference fit: the bushing OD is slightly larger than the mounting hole. They are the standard choice for single-operation drilling or reaming.

  • Headless (P) and headed (H) styles
  • Inch, metric and carbide versions
  • Serrated styles that resist rotation
  • Hundreds of sizes in stock for same-day shipment

Press-Fit Bushings FAQ

P or H: which press-fit bushing should I use?

Use P (headless) when bushings are close together and loads are moderate. Use H (headed) when drilling thrust is heavy or you want the head to set depth.

How tight is the press fit?

The bushing OD is made slightly larger than the hole so it needs force to seat. Bore the hole to the size Carr Lane lists for the bushing OD.

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.
