Boneham P2022FT Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P2022FT is a headless, press fit drill bushing used to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling operations. It carries a 3/16 inch (0.1875 inch) inside diameter with an inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, a 5/16 inch body outside diameter, and an overall length of 1-3/8 inches. Constructed from steel, this bushing is pressed directly into a drill jig plate without a head flange, keeping the top surface flush. It is installed by machinists and toolmakers in production drilling fixtures where consistent hole location and drill alignment are required across repeated operations.

The P2022FT suits production and prototype jig setups in metal fabrication, machine shops, and manufacturing environments. Its headless profile makes it appropriate for applications where a protruding flange would interfere with the workpiece or clamping setup. The counterbored design accommodates standard jig plate thicknesses. The bushing industry code P identifies this as a standard press fit headless type, allowing straightforward sourcing against tool drawings that call out P-series bushings.

Key Features

• Press fit installation — no additional fasteners or hardware required
• Headless profile keeps the jig plate surface flush with the installed bushing
• 3/16 inch ID with tight tolerance (+0.0001 to +0.0004 inches) for accurate drill guidance
• Steel construction provides wear resistance in high-cycle drilling applications
• Counterbored design for compatibility with standard jig plate configurations
• Bushing industry code P for direct cross-reference against engineering drawings

Compatibility

Designed as a standard P-series press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jig fixtures requiring a 3/16 inch inside diameter guide and a 5/16 inch body outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolmaker using an arbor press to drive the bushing into the prepared jig plate bore. The jig plate hole must be machined to the proper press fit tolerance to ensure secure retention. Do not hammer the bushing in freehand, as this can distort the ID or cause misalignment. Verify the bushing seats fully and flush before use in production drilling operations.
