Boneham P164DV Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P164DV is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel with a hardness of 60 to 65 HRC, it delivers consistent bore alignment and resists wear over high-cycle use. The headless design allows it to sit flush with the jig plate surface, making it well suited for tight clearance setups. With an inside diameter of 0.125 inches and a body outside diameter of 0.25 inches, the P164DV is sized for small-bore drilling applications. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders install this type of bushing as a permanent, non-renewable component in drill jigs.

The P164DV fits residential and industrial tooling environments wherever repeatable hole location is required. It is pressed directly into a prepared hole in the jig plate and is not intended for removal after installation. Typical applications include production drilling fixtures, assembly jigs, and inspection tooling in machine shops and manufacturing facilities. The ANSI-conforming dimensions ensure interchangeability with standard drill jig components.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, secure seating in jig plate
• Headless design allows flush mounting with no protruding flange
• Steel construction with 60 to 65 HRC hardness for extended wear life
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Conforms to ANSI standards for dimensional interchangeability
• Non-renewable design — intended as a permanent bushing installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press fit headless drill bushing conforming to ANSI P-series dimensional standards for use in standard drill jig and fixture assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using a press or arbor press to drive the bushing into a precisely reamed hole. The receiving hole must be sized to the specified press fit tolerance to ensure proper retention. Do not hammer the bushing in without a driver to avoid damaging the bore or skewing the bushing. Once pressed in, the P164DV is not designed for removal or reuse.
