Boneham P264GE Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P264GE is a Type P press fit headless drill bushing manufactured from steel. It is used to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining and fabrication operations. The bushing features a 13/64 inch inside diameter and a 13/32 inch outside diameter, with an overall bushing length of 1/4 inch. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within the jig plate without a protruding flange. Installation is accomplished by pressing the bushing into a prepared hole in a drill jig or fixture plate. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fabricators install this type of component in production and prototype tooling environments.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig fixtures in light to medium machining applications. The compact 1/4 inch overall length makes it appropriate for thin jig plates where a longer bushing body would interfere with workpiece clearance. The press fit installation method locks the bushing firmly in place without mechanical fasteners. It is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is intended for permanent installation in the jig plate rather than field replacement under normal service conditions.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard Type P headless press fit drill jig applications requiring a 13/64 inch inside diameter and 13/32 inch outside diameter bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing into a properly sized and toleranced hole in the jig plate. The jig plate bore should be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Always ensure the jig plate is secured and free of chips or debris before pressing the bushing into position. Once installed, this bushing is not intended for removal and reinstallation.
