Boneham P264HD Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P264HD is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel, this Type P bushing features a 0.246 inch inside diameter (Letter D, Decimal 0.2460 inch) and a 13/32 inch body outside diameter, with an overall bushing length of 1/4 inch. The headless profile allows the bushing to sit flush within a drill jig plate without protruding above the surface. Inside diameter tolerance is held to +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring consistent, repeatable hole location across production runs. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders rely on this type of bushing where precise drill guidance is required.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs, production fixtures, and precision tooling setups in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and manufacturing environments. The press fit installation method means the bushing is driven into a prepared hole in the jig plate and is intended to remain in place permanently. It is not a renewable bushing. The compact 1/4 inch overall length makes it appropriate for thin jig plates or applications where minimal bushing projection is required.

Key Features

• Press fit installation for permanent, fixed positioning in drill jig plates
• Headless design sits flush with the jig plate surface
• 0.246 inch inside diameter (Letter D) with tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches
• 13/32 inch body outside diameter with 1/4 inch overall length
• Steel construction for durability in repeated drilling applications
• Non-renewable bushing; intended for permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type P press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixtures requiring a 13/32 inch prepared bore and a 0.246 inch drill guide diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or similar controlled pressing equipment. The receiving bore in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate toleranced diameter to achieve proper press fit interference. Do not use a hammer to drive the bushing, as this can damage the bushing bore or distort the jig plate. Because this is a non-renewable design, removal typically requires destruction of the bushing.
