BUSHING BARS and other special tools.
Bushing Bars
The bushing bar is a common sight in any aircraft assembly or repair area. The use of slip fit hardened steel bushings to guide the very tip of a drill bit, reamer or tap for a properly located hole.
Most bushing bars are very good at making perpendicular holes on flat surfaces. We make bars like that. Fixing a broken bolt in a head or block is a breeze with a flat bar.
But what about a round shape or tube? Many motorcycles and bicycles have round tubing frames. Drilling a hole through the tube on center and at 90 degrees can be tough. Sure, f you have a big enough milling machine you can mount the frame on the mill...
Introducing the V-bar
The V-bar works like a v-block to locate on the tube. Because the drill bit is supported properly, the hole on the opposite side of the tube is centered too.
The V-Bar is manufactured to close tolerances,and hard anodized. it accepts standard 1/2" diameter slip fit bushings. And of course you can use the hardened steel master bushing to support a 1/2" diameter drill bit.
V-bars are shipped with locking screw. The hardened steel master bushing is press fit & lapped in place.
We do not supply the individual drill bushings. They are available from several manufacturers like Carr Lane and United Drill Bushing.
Slip fit bushings are available in many sizes. Fractional inch, letter & number drill sizes are off-the-shelf. Metric sizes are as well.
V-bars are $65.00 MSRP
