Boneham P134BP Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P134BP is a headless press fit drill bushing manufactured from steel, designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations. With an inside diameter of 0.0595 inches (wire size number 53) and a body outside diameter of 13/64 inches, this bushing maintains tight inside diameter tolerances of positive 0.0001 to positive 0.0004 inches for consistent hole location accuracy. The overall bushing length is 1/4 inch. It installs without a head, allowing flush seating in jig plates where a projecting flange would interfere with workpiece clearance. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators rely on this type of bushing to maintain repeatable drill positioning across production runs.

The P134BP is suited for use in drill jigs and fixture plates in both production machining and general metalworking environments. Its press fit installation method means it is driven directly into the jig plate bore and held in place by interference fit, making it appropriate for permanent or semi-permanent jig setups. This bushing carries industry code P, which corresponds to the standard headless press fit bushing classification used in tooling specification and procurement. It is not designed as a renewable bushing and is intended for applications where the bushing does not require routine field replacement.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 0.0595 inches (wire size number 53) for precise drill guidance
• Inside diameter tolerance of positive 0.0001 to positive 0.0004 inches for tight positional accuracy
• Body outside diameter of 13/64 inches with 1/4 inch overall length
• Headless design allows flush installation in jig plates without flange protrusion
• Press fit installation method provides secure, permanent seating via interference fit
• Steel construction for durability in metalworking and machining applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing conforming to industry code P, suitable for standard drill jig plates and fixture applications requiring a number 53 drill guide.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the bushing into a precisely reamed or bored hole in the jig plate using an arbor press or hydraulic press. Ensure the receiving bore diameter matches the bushing outside diameter specification to achieve proper interference fit. Do not hammer the bushing in directly without a driving tool, as this can damage the bushing bore or distort the OD. Machining personnel should verify jig plate material and hardness are compatible with steel bushing press fit requirements before installation.
