Boneham P1012BF Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P1012BF is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision in fixed jig and fixture applications. Built to Industry Code P standards, this bushing features a 3/64 inch inside diameter and a 5/32 inch body outside diameter, with an overall length of 3/4 inch. Manufactured from steel, it delivers the hardness and wear resistance required for repeated drilling operations in production environments. The press fit installation method locks the bushing securely into the jig plate without fasteners or retaining rings. Inside diameter tolerance is held to +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring consistent hole location accuracy across high-volume runs. This is a non-renewable bushing intended for permanent installation.

The P1012BF is suited for use in drill jigs, fixtures, and tooling plates where small-diameter hole guidance is required. The 3/64 inch bore accommodates small drill bits used in precision metalworking, aerospace component fabrication, and general machining operations. Its headless profile allows flush or sub-flush seating in counterbored jig plates, keeping the bushing face clear of the workpiece surface. Toolmakers, machinists, and fixture builders working in job shops or production machine shops are the primary installers of this component.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Industry Code P press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixtures requiring a 3/64 inch bore and 5/32 inch outside diameter press fit hole.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press to seat the bushing into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. Ensure the mating hole in the jig plate is reamed to the correct press fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal and reinstallation. Confirm bore alignment with the workpiece drill path before pressing the bushing to final depth.
