Boneham P2012FU Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P2012FU is a headless, press fit drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Manufactured from steel, this bushing carries an inside diameter of 0.189 inches with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring accurate tool guidance and repeatable hole location. The body outside diameter measures 5/16 inches with an overall length of 3/4 inches. It installs without a head, sitting flush within the jig plate for applications where a low-profile installation is required. Machinists and tooling specialists use this type of bushing in drill jig assemblies across production and maintenance environments.

The P2012FU is suited for use in drill jig tooling where press fit retention and headless installation are specified. The bushing is non-renewable, meaning it is intended for permanent or semi-permanent press fit installation into a jig plate or fixture body. Its steel construction provides durability under repeated tool cycling. Industry code P identifies this bushing within the standard drill bushing classification system, making it straightforward to specify and cross-reference against tooling drawings and fixture designs.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are typically installed by toolmakers or machinist tradespeople using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush within the jig plate bore. Power down and secure all equipment before pressing the bushing into or removing it from a fixture. Verify bore diameter and surface finish in the jig plate prior to installation to ensure proper interference fit. Do not hammer the bushing directly, as this may damage the bushing bore or alter its tolerance.
