The Forster #28 Drill Bushing (brand part no. UF1000-031) is a precision guide bushing sized to the #28 drill bit, used to keep a drill from wandering off-center when starting a hole in a firearm part. Forster Products machines the bushing’s inner bore to match the #28 bit closely enough that the bit is held on-axis through the full depth of the cut, which matters when a hole needs to land in exactly the right spot on a sight, pin, or small fitting. It’s a fixture accessory rather than a standalone tool, meant to be used with a drill press or jig setup already in place. Stock it with the rest of our gunsmithing tools and gunsmith supplies for precision drilling work.

Key Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use a drill bushing instead of just eyeballing the hole location? A bushing physically constrains the bit to stay on-axis, which is far more repeatable than a hand-guided start, especially on small or hardened parts.

Does this bushing include the drill bit itself? No, it’s a guide bushing sized for a separately purchased #28 bit.
