The Forster #36 Drill Bushing (brand part no. UF1000-024) is a precision guide bushing sized to the #36 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 #36 bit closely enough that the bit stays on-axis through the full depth of the cut, which matters when a hole needs to land precisely 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a different bushing for every drill bit size I use? Yes, each bushing is bored to match one specific bit size, so a shop working with multiple hole sizes typically stocks a matching set.

What material are these bushings made from? They’re made from hardened tool steel intended to resist wear from repeated drilling use.
