Boneham P2622HD Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P2622HD is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools accurately during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Built to industry code P, this bushing features a 0.246 inch (Letter D) inside diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, a 13/32 inch body outside diameter, and an overall length of 1-3/8 inches. Constructed from steel, it provides the hardness and wear resistance required for repetitive production drilling. The headless design allows it to sit flush within a jig plate, making it suitable for close-clearance applications. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install these in drill jigs and fixtures across manufacturing and fabrication environments.

The P2622HD is used in drill jig assemblies where precise hole location and consistent tool guidance are required. It is a non-renewable bushing pressed directly into the jig plate without a liner bushing, making it appropriate for dedicated, single-operation fixtures in both job shop and production settings. Its steel construction handles the cycle demands of production drilling without significant wear over the service life of the fixture.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, permanent seating in jig plates
• Headless design allows flush mounting in close-clearance fixture layouts
• 0.246 inch inside diameter with +0.0001 to +0.0004 inch tolerance for precise tool guidance
• Steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for repetitive use
• Counterbored design accommodates tool shanks or fastener clearance as needed
• Conforms to industry bushing code P for standardized jig and fixture compatibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for standard drill jig and fixture plates requiring a headless, press fit bushing in the P industry code series.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are installed by qualified machinists or tool-and-die technicians using an arbor press or hydraulic press to achieve proper seating without damage to the bushing bore. The jig plate bore should be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation. Do not use impact tools to drive the bushing, as this may distort the inside diameter and compromise tool guidance accuracy. Verify hole location and bushing seating depth against fixture drawings before committing the assembly to production use.
