Thread Reducer Bushing
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Product Overview
This bushing screws directly into an existing tapped hole: its external thread matches the larger hole, while its internal thread is the smaller size you actually need, effectively reducing the working thread size without re-machining the base part. It is a practical fix when a hole has already been drilled and tapped to a larger size than the application calls for.
We supply this bushing to machine shops, equipment repair teams and fixture builders who need to adapt an oversized or previously stripped tapped hole down to a smaller, usable thread size quickly and without welding or re-drilling.

Application Fields
- ✓Reducing an oversized tapped hole to accept a smaller bolt
- ✓Repairing a stripped larger thread by stepping down to a smaller working size

Key Advantages
- Reduces a tapped hole's working thread size without welding, re-drilling, or re-tapping the base part.
- Screws directly into the existing hole, so installation is fast and does not require special equipment.
- Available in common reduction combinations, covering most machine shop and repair scenarios without a custom order.
- Optional locking retention keeps the bushing from backing out under repeated bolt removal and reinstallation.
- Stainless and plated steel options let the bushing match the corrosion environment of the host part.
