Boneham P3222GF Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P3222GF is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Built from hardened steel with a hardness rating of 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing resists wear through repeated drilling cycles. It features a 0.204 inch inside diameter, a 1/2 inch body outside diameter, and an overall length of 1-3/8 inches. The inside diameter tolerance is held to +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, which supports accurate hole location and consistent results across production runs. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

This bushing suits drill jig applications in manufacturing, metalworking, and fabrication environments. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within a counterbored hole, making it well suited for tight clearance situations or stacked tooling setups. The press fit installation method locks the bushing permanently into the jig plate without additional fasteners. The counterbored configuration and compliance with ANSI standards make it a direct fit for standard jig bushing applications in both light production and high-volume environments.

Key Features

• Hardened steel construction rated 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life in repeated drilling operations
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise hole location guidance
• Headless design for flush installation in counterbored jig plates
• Press fit installation method — no additional fasteners required
• Counterbored configuration supports standard jig bushing setups
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and fit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard ANSI press fit headless drill jig applications requiring a P-series bushing with a 0.204 inch inside diameter and 1/2 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are typically installed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press. Clean and deburr the receiving bore in the jig plate before installation to ensure proper seating. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or reuse. Verify the counterbore depth matches the bushing length before pressing to achieve a flush surface condition.
