About the Press-Fit Drill Bushing, 2 mm ID
Press-fit drill bushings are pressed permanently into a fixture-plate hole sized slightly smaller than the bushing body, so drill bits and other cutting tools are guided precisely while the plate itself is protected from wear. This Press-Fit Drill Bushing 2 mm ID is a headless metric bushing with a 5 mm outside diameter and 9 mm length, catalogued under supplier reference 8486A18. Small drills are especially prone to flexing and walking on entry, and the 9 mm bore — four and a half diameters of engagement for a 2 mm drill — keeps the tool aligned to the intended hole position through the full approach. The headless form presses flush with the fixture surface, so mating parts and clamps can sit flat on the plate. McMaster-Carr lists its metric press-fit drill bushings as hardened, ground steel that holds its shape and resists wear across many drilling cycles, and the bushing installs by manual or hydraulic press into a plate hole sized slightly under the 5 mm body for a permanent interference fit.

Its flush, headless body fits jigs whose working face must stay flat, such as plates the workpiece clamps directly against.
