Drill guide bushing for accurate 4.0mm drilling

The OpenBuilds 4.1mm diameter Drill Guide Bushing for 4.0mm Drills is a precision guide component used to support and direct a 4.0mm drill bit during drilling. It helps maintain alignment in jigs, fixtures, and templates where repeatable hole placement matters.

Key features of the OpenBuilds drill bushing

  • 4.1mm inner diameter: Sized to guide 4.0mm drill bits with practical running clearance.
  • Made for repeatable drilling: Helps reduce bit wandering when drilling through a prepared guide setup.
  • Useful in custom fixtures: Suitable for workshop jigs, template drilling, and part-location tools.
  • OpenBuilds component: Designed as a machine and fabrication accessory within OpenBuilds-style builds and shop tooling.

How a drill guide bushing helps in real use

A drill bushing is useful when multiple parts need the same hole location or when a template must guide a drill accurately. In fabrication, prototyping, CNC accessory building, and general workshop use, a guided drill path can improve consistency and reduce setup variation between parts.

This 4.0mm drill guide bushing is well suited to fixture-building tasks, alignment templates, and repair or assembly work where clean positioning is more important than freehand drilling. It can also support repeat operations in small-batch production or maker projects that rely on consistent hole spacing.

What drill bit size fits this drill guide bushing?

This drill guide bushing is intended for 4.0mm drill bits. The 4.1mm inner diameter provides clearance for guiding the bit.

What does the 4.1mm diameter mean?

The 4.1mm figure refers to the inner diameter of the bushing. That opening is sized to guide a 4.0mm drill.

Can this bushing improve drilling accuracy in a jig?

Yes. A drill guide bushing helps keep the drill aligned in templates and fixtures, which can improve repeatability and hole placement.

Is this drill guide bushing for hand drills or drill presses?

It can be used in either type of setup when installed in a suitable jig or fixture. Results depend on the rigidity of the overall drilling setup.

Can I use a 4.1mm drill in this bushing?

A 4.0mm drill is the intended size. Using a larger drill may reduce guidance or may not fit properly, depending on the actual drill dimensions.

How do I know if a 4.0mm drill guide bushing will fit my fixture?

You need to confirm that the fixture or jig is machined for the outer dimensions of the bushing. The listed product details only identify the inner diameter and intended drill size.

What is a drill guide bushing used for in repeat hole drilling?

A drill guide bushing is used to direct the drill bit through a fixed opening so repeated holes can be placed more consistently. It is commonly used in production jigs, templates, and alignment fixtures.
