Boneham P134BT Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P134BT is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Manufactured from steel, this bushing features a 0.0635-inch inside diameter with a close tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, making it suited for applications requiring repeatable hole location accuracy. The outside diameter measures 13/64 inches with an overall bushing length of 1/4 inch. The headless profile sits flush with the jig plate surface, eliminating protrusions that could interfere with workpiece movement. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this type of bushing in drill jigs and fixtures across production and job-shop environments.

This bushing is classified under industry code P and is intended for permanent press fit installation in hardened drill jig plates. The 0.0635-inch bore corresponds to a wire gauge size 52 drill, making it applicable wherever that diameter tool must be guided consistently. Common use cases include production drilling fixtures in metalworking and fabrication shops where hole location tolerances are critical and the bushing is not intended to be removed after installation.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, non-renewable mounting in jig plates
• Headless design sits flush with the plate surface for unobstructed workpiece handling
• 0.0635-inch inside diameter sized for wire gauge 52 tooling
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Steel construction for durability in repeated drilling cycles
• Industry code P bushing for standard jig and fixture compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for steel drill jig plates requiring a press fit headless bushing with a 13/64-inch outside diameter and 1/4-inch overall length.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a pre-machined, correctly toleranced hole in the jig plate. Power down all equipment before working in the fixture. This bushing is classified as non-renewable and is not designed to be removed and replaced once pressed into position. Confirm bore and plate tolerances before pressing to avoid damaging the bushing or the jig plate.
