Boneham P268GX Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P268GX is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools accurately during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Built to Industry Code P specifications, this bushing features a 15/64-inch inside diameter and a 13/32-inch outside diameter, with an overall length of 1/2 inch. Machined from steel, it is installed via press fit into a drill jig plate and sits flush with the jig surface due to its headless design. It is a non-renewable bushing intended for permanent installation. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and jig-and-fixture builders install this component in production and maintenance environments.

The P268GX is suited for use in drill jig plates where a permanent, flush-mount bushing is required. Its headless design is the correct choice when the bushing must sit below or flush with the jig surface without a protruding flange. Typical applications include metalworking production fixtures, assembly jigs, and precision drilling templates used in manufacturing and repair shops. The 15/64-inch bore accommodates the corresponding drill size, maintaining tight positional accuracy across repeated tool cycles.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Industry Code P press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixtures requiring a 15/64-inch bore and 13/32-inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press — do not hammer directly on the bushing face. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be bored to the correct tolerance for an interference fit before installation. Once pressed in, the bushing is not intended to be removed or replaced. Verify bore alignment and jig plate flatness before pressing to ensure accurate tool guidance.
