Boneham P206DV Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P206DV is a headless, press fit drill bushing manufactured from hardened steel to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. Classified under Industry Code P, it features a 0.125 inch inside diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, a 0.3125 inch body outside diameter, and an overall length of 0.375 inches. Hardness is rated at 60 to 65 HRC, making it suited for high-cycle production drilling where bore location accuracy is critical. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision fabricators install this bushing as a permanent, non-renewable component in drill jigs and fixtures.

The P206DV is intended for use in drill jig plates and tooling fixtures where a flush, headless profile is required. Its press fit installation method makes it appropriate for applications where the bushing must sit flush with or below the surface of the jig plate. Typical uses include production drilling operations in metalworking shops and manufacturing environments requiring repeatable hole placement. Because this bushing is non-renewable, it is designed to remain permanently in place once installed.

Key Features

• Press fit installation for permanent, fixed positioning in jig plates
• Headless design sits flush with or below the jig plate surface
• 0.125 inch inside diameter with +0.0001 to +0.0004 inch ID tolerance for precise drill guidance
• 60 to 65 HRC hardness for wear resistance in high-cycle drilling applications
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances
• Steel construction for durability in production tooling environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style permanent press fit drill bushing conforming to ANSI Industry Code P specifications, suitable for standard jig plate installations requiring a 0.3125 inch body outside diameter press fit bore.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are typically installed by a toolmaker or machinist using an arbor press to seat the bushing flush into a precision-bored hole in the jig plate. Power down all associated machinery before installing or removing tooling components. The interference fit is permanent — this is a non-renewable bushing and is not intended for field removal or replacement once seated. Confirm bore diameter in the jig plate matches the press fit tolerance of the bushing outside diameter before installation.
