Boneham P2612GX Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P2612GX is a headless, press fit drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining and fabrication operations. It features a 15/64-inch inside diameter and a 13/32-inch outside diameter, with an overall bushing length of 3/4 inches. Manufactured from steel, it provides the hardness and wear resistance required for production drilling applications. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush with the jig plate surface, making it suitable for close-tolerance work where a protruding head would interfere with workholding or subsequent operations. Installation is permanent — the press fit method secures the bushing directly into the jig plate without additional fasteners.

This bushing is used in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling assemblies across metalworking, fabrication, and manufacturing environments. It carries the industry bushing code P, which identifies it within the standard headless press fit bushing series. Typical installers include toolmakers, machinists, and fixture builders working in job shops or production machine shops. It is suited for applications where a fixed, non-renewable bushing is acceptable and the jig plate does not require frequent bushing replacement.

Key Features

• Headless design sits flush with jig plate surface for close-tolerance drilling setups
• Press fit installation method — no fasteners required, permanent seating in the jig plate
• 15/64-inch inside diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for accurate tool guidance
• 13/32-inch body outside diameter, 3/4-inch overall length
• Steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for production use
• Non-renewable bushing — intended for permanent fixture installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing conforming to industry bushing code P, suitable for standard drill jig plates and tooling fixtures that accept this bushing series and outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are typically installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press to drive the bushing flush into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be reamed to the correct interference fit tolerance to ensure proper retention. Do not hammer the bushing directly without a proper driver to avoid damaging the ID or distorting the bushing body. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or replacement.
