Also, due to demand, 1/4" x 3mm (#39 drill).
Again I recommend using McMaster-Carr Delrin, even though sometimes they drop the ball on the diameter tolerances. Maximum link diameter is .254".
If you want a larger pilot hole, use the #39 first then remove the guide and ream the existing hole out.
Same price applies, $7.50 per bushing
$12 for any two bushings.
$18 for one of each, all three sizes.

No, there's not enough demand to buy a bar of 5/8" st.st. for $100, machine it and then sit on it for years after selling three guides.
The guide would be over an inch long also.

Yes,
but a drills flutes are sharp too and as you push the drill in harder material the drill will resist and bow. When the drill bows, the flutes push into the guide and it will wear much faster than if you were drilling plastic.
You'll get your $7.50 out of it for sure.

What about a bushing for 3/16 O.D. for 3mm

You would be the first person to ask for this size, that's the demand. You'd be best off with the tape shim method.

Also, I appreciate the tip on the delrin hook-up.
McMaster-Carr is the sheeot! Ordered a couple 4' sticks of 5/16 & 3/8, come home 2 days later to a cardboard tube of slickness wedged in my storm-door
Paid WAAAY less too

Orders shipped.
MM-C is great, they do however drop the ball sometimes with QA.
I did have one person say that his guide didn't fit his MM-C material.
I 100% the counterbore on these guides to be at my spec of .3155".
I think MM-C also has weird shipping days. Sometimes people have to wait a week, some others a day.
Just for another source, onlinemetals sells black delrin also.

I just didn't see what tolerance they hold.
