The Forster #45 Drill Bushing (brand part no. UF1000-023) is a precision guide bushing sized to the #45 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 #45 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.
