The drill bushings are 5/16 od. I have both a Forester and a Billy Best drill jig. they are good jigs had the Forester since 1960. only cost 75.00 then. Paul

Thanx for the info guys,

ordered a set of Forester bushings from Midway today.

Further info. gleened from other forums.

All of the 4 popular drill fixture makers use the same 5/16".... .312 OD bushings. That is Forester, B-square, Wheeler, and the new one on the market Sun-Optics.

As of now Brownell's has them the cheapest at $19.95 for the set of 3.
Regular machinist suppliers such as MSC etc want half that for 1.
