I haven't spent much time hanging out on this board, but I just
ran across your suggestion and decided to click on the link and check
it out. I had been struggling with the accuracy of my drilling for a
while and I am excited to try these out. I bought one of each, and
with shipping it was $22.00. Thanks so much for mentioning them as I
wouldn't have known about them otherwise.

It's always handy to know more "ways to skin a cat"...

AFAICT, they're the same bushings used in some of the doweling jigs and
if you want a gee-whiz custom drilling jig, you can screw the bushings
into an aluminum base with 1/2"-20 threads

With that kind of setup, you can share the bushings between multiple
jigs and not need to buy threaded inserts at all.

I'm such a cheapskate that I went out and bought the 1/2-20 tap.
