Boneham P265GZ Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P265GZ is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel with a hardness of 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing provides durable wear resistance under repeated drilling cycles. The inside diameter measures 0.238 inches with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring accurate tool alignment. The body outside diameter is 13/32 inches and the overall bushing length is 5/16 inches. This is a permanent, non-renewable bushing installed by press fit into a hardened or soft drill jig plate. Machinists and tooling technicians are the primary installers.

This bushing is suited for production and prototype drilling operations where consistent hole location is required. The headless design sits flush with the jig plate surface, making it appropriate for close-tolerance layouts where a flanged head would interfere with adjacent operations or workpiece clearance. It carries ANSI standard compliance and is used across general metalworking, fabrication, and machining environments where jig bushings are specified by industry code P.

Key Features

• Non-renewable fixed bushing suitable for high-volume production jigs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing for use in standard drill jig plates and fixtures requiring a P-series bushing with 0.238 inches inside diameter and 13/32 inches outside diameter per ANSI standards.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinist technicians using a hydraulic or arbor press to seat the bushing flush into a properly sized jig plate bore. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be machined to the correct press fit tolerance before installation to avoid bushing distortion or bore damage. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal or replacement. Always de-burr and clean the jig plate bore before pressing the bushing into position.
