Boneham P264FX Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P264FX is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel, this bushing carries a 0.1935 inch inside diameter with an inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring repeatable hole location accuracy across production runs. The outside diameter measures 13/32 inches and the overall bushing length is 1/4 inch. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush with or below the jig plate surface, making it suitable for applications where clearance is limited. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

The P264FX is used in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling bodies where a permanent, non-renewable bushing is required. Its press fit installation method means the bushing is driven directly into the jig plate bore without the need for a locking mechanism or additional hardware. This configuration is common in high-volume production environments where tool guidance must remain consistent over repeated drilling operations. The headless body profile is well suited for close-tolerance fixture layouts where a flanged head would interfere with adjacent components or the workpiece itself.

Key Features

• Press fit installation — no additional locking hardware required
• Headless design sits flush with or below the fixture plate surface
• 0.1935 inch ID with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for consistent tool guidance
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling applications
• Industry Code P classification for standardized jig bushing interchangeability
• Compact 1/4 inch overall length suited for thin jig plates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation component for drill jigs and fixture plates requiring a press fit headless bushing with a 0.1935 inch inside diameter and 13/32 inch outside diameter per standard Industry Code P dimensions.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a toolmaker or machinist using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a properly reamed jig plate bore. The receiving bore in the fixture plate must be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is classified as non-renewable and is not intended for field removal or replacement without reworking the host bore. Verify bore condition and cleanliness before pressing to avoid damaging the bushing or the fixture plate.
