Boneham P265GT Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P265GT is a press fit headless drill bushing used to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Classified under Industry Code P, this bushing features a 0.228-inch 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 5/16 inches. Manufactured from steel, it provides the wear resistance and dimensional stability required in repetitive drilling operations. Machinists and toolmakers install this bushing into drill jigs to ensure accurate, repeatable hole placement across production runs.

This bushing suits metalworking and machining environments where controlled hole location is critical. The headless, press fit design makes it appropriate for flush-mount installations in jig plates where a protruding flange would interfere with workpiece seating or chip clearance. It is a non-renewable type, meaning it is intended as a permanent installation in the jig body rather than a field-replaceable liner.

Key Features

• Press fit installation for secure, permanent seating in drill jigs
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Headless design allows flush mounting in jig plates
• Steel construction for wear resistance in high-cycle drilling operations
• Industry Code P classification for standard jig bushing compatibility
• Non-renewable fixed bushing — no liner or lock required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for steel jig plates requiring an Industry Code P press fit headless bushing with a 0.228-inch ID and 13/32-inch OD.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush into a precision-reamed jig plate bore. The jig plate bore must be machined to the appropriate interference fit specification for the 13/32-inch OD before pressing. Do not drive the bushing with a hammer directly on the bore face, as this can distort the inside diameter and compromise tool guidance accuracy. Verify inside diameter is within tolerance after pressing before placing the jig into service.
