Boneham P206FV Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P206FV is a press fit headless drill bushing used to guide cutting tools accurately during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Manufactured from steel with a hardness rating of 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing resists wear under repeated tool passes and maintains positional accuracy across production runs. It features a 0.191 inch inside diameter, a 5/16 inch body outside diameter, and a 3/8 inch overall length. The headless design seats flush with the jig plate, making it well suited for applications where a projecting head would interfere with workpiece clearance or fixturing. Installation is by press fit, requiring no additional hardware.

This bushing is intended for use in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling setups in machining environments. The P industry code designates its dimensional series under ANSI standards, allowing straightforward specification and replacement within standard jig bushing systems. It is commonly installed by machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders in production and repair shop settings where repeatable hole location is required.

Key Features

• Press fit installation for secure, hardware-free seating in jig plates
• Headless design provides flush seating and unobstructed tool approach
• Steel construction with 60 to 65 HRC hardness for extended wear life
• Inside diameter tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Conforms to ANSI standards for drill jig bushings
• Compact 3/8 inch overall length suits thin jig plate applications

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI-standard P-series press fit headless drill bushing for use in standard drill jig and fixture plate applications where a 5/16 inch outside diameter press fit bushing is specified.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are typically installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a precision-bored hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole must be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, the bushing is not designed for removal and reuse. Always ensure the jig plate and workpiece are properly clamped and that cutting tools are powered down before inspecting or replacing bushings.
