Boneham P2612GO Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P2612GO is a headless, press fit drill bushing used to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Manufactured from steel, this bushing features a 7/32-inch inside diameter and a 13/32-inch outside diameter, with an overall bushing length (OAL) of 3/4 inch. The press fit installation method holds the bushing securely in a jig plate without mechanical fasteners or a flange head. Industry code P identifies this as a standard headless style, consistent with common tooling jig specifications. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production shop technicians install this part in drill jigs and fixture plates where repeatable hole location accuracy is required.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig assemblies across metalworking, machining, and fabrication environments. It is appropriate for both production and prototype fixtures where a low-profile, flush-mount bushing is needed. The headless design allows installation in close-tolerance bored holes where a flanged head would interfere with workpiece clamping or adjacent bushings. The fixed, non-renewable design makes it a cost-effective choice for high-volume drilling fixtures with consistent tooling requirements.

Key Features

• Headless, press fit design installs flush in jig plate without fasteners or collars
• 7/32-inch inside diameter with a tight tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches for accurate tool guidance
• 13/32-inch outside diameter and 3/4-inch OAL for consistent seating depth
• Steel construction provides wear resistance in repetitive drilling applications
• Industry code P classification ensures compatibility with standard drill jig specifications
• Non-renewable fixed bushing — designed for permanent installation in high-cycle fixtures

Compatibility

Designed as a standard P-series headless press fit drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixture plates requiring a 13/32-inch bored hole and 7/32-inch tool guidance diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a precision-bored hole in the jig plate. The interference fit requires that the receiving bore be machined to the correct tolerance before pressing — do not force the bushing into an undersized or rough bore, as this can crack the jig plate or distort the bushing ID. Ensure the jig assembly is fully secured and supported during pressing. Verify inside diameter clearance with the intended drill or reamer before committing the bushing to a permanent installation.
