Boneham P1622DJ Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P1622DJ is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision in metalworking and machining operations. Built to industry code P, this bushing features a 7/64 inch inside diameter, a 1/4 inch outside diameter, and a 1-3/8 inch overall length. Constructed from steel hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, it maintains dimensional integrity under repeated drilling cycles. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within a jig plate, and the counterbored construction accommodates proper seating. Installation is permanent via press fit, making it a fixed-location guide for production or tooling fixtures.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling setups across machine shops, manufacturing facilities, and precision fabrication environments. It is typically installed by machinists or tooling engineers who require consistent hole location accuracy across multiple workpieces. The P-series headless style is a common choice when a low-profile, non-removable bushing is needed in close-tolerance jig work. Its steel construction and hardened bore make it appropriate for both prototype and production tooling applications.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, fixed-location positioning in jig plates
• Headless design sits flush with the jig surface, eliminating head interference
• Hardened steel construction at 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life under repeated use
• Counterbored body for proper seating and alignment in the mounting plate
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for close-tolerance drill guidance
• Conforms to ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensional compliance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed drill bushing for use in standard jig and fixture plates requiring a headless, press fit bushing per ANSI specifications with a 7/64 inch bore and 1/4 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are installed by machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush within the jig plate bore. Power down all machinery and secure the workpiece fixture before pressing in the bushing. Do not drive the bushing with impact tools, as this can distort the bore or damage the seating surface. Once pressed in, the bushing is not intended for removal or reuse.
