Great value assortment

Getting the 3, 4, and 5mm sizes in one pack is convenient for a repair shop. The tolerances are tight, which is essential for sewing machine mechanics. One star off because shipping took a while.

Perfect fit for my vintage machine

I needed a 4mm bushing for an old Singer model, and this SF1 sleeve fit perfectly. The self-lubricating feature means I don't have to oil it constantly. Very smooth operation now.

Excellent wear resistance

I use my machine for heavy denim projects. These bushings handle the vibration and friction much better than the original parts. No signs of wear after three months of heavy use.

Solved my squeaky arm issue

My sewing machine arm was making a terrible noise. Replaced the worn-out plastic bushing with this copper sleeve. Silent operation restored immediately. Highly recommend for repairs.

Good quality, small sizes

The material feels durable and the bronze composite is high quality. Just make sure you measure your bore exactly as these are precision parts. Works great for light-duty sewing tasks.

Smooth sliding action

The oil-impregnated design really works. The shaft slides effortlessly without any grit. It's a small part but makes a huge difference in the overall feel of the machine.
