Boneham P106BP Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P106BP is a headless drill bushing designed for press fit installation in jig plates and drill fixtures used in precision machining and metalworking operations. With an inside diameter of 0.0595 inches (Wire Gauge 53) and a body outside diameter of 5/32 inches, this bushing provides accurate drill guidance for small-diameter hole operations. The overall bushing length is 3/8 inches. Manufactured from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, it delivers the wear resistance needed for repeated drilling cycles. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders install this bushing where a flush, head-free profile is required.

The P106BP is suited for use in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling applications where precise hole location and repeatable drill guidance are critical. Its headless configuration allows it to sit flush with the plate surface, making it appropriate for close-tolerance setups and multi-station fixtures in production environments. This bushing conforms to ANSI standards and is used in both job shop and production machining settings.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, fixed positioning in the jig plate
• Headless design sits flush with the fixture surface for unobstructed tool travel
• 0.0595 inch inside diameter (Wire Gauge 53) for small-diameter drill guidance
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise drill location
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bushing geometry and dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for press fit headless drill bushing applications conforming to ANSI P-series bushing specifications.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press sized for the bushing OD and plate bore. The receiving bore in the jig plate must be finish-reamed to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Do not drive the bushing in with a hammer, as this can damage the bore or distort the bushing. Once pressed in, the bushing is not intended for removal or reuse.
