Boneham P3222GK Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P3222GK is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel, this bushing features a 0.209 inch inside diameter, a 1/2 inch body outside diameter, and a 1-3/8 inch overall length. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within a counterbored hole, making it well suited for applications where a protruding head would interfere with the workpiece or tooling setup. It is permanently installed into the jig body via press fit and is not intended to be renewed or exchanged between operations.

This bushing carries the P industry code and is intended for use in drill jigs, fixture plates, and precision tooling setups in machining and fabrication environments. The counterbored design accommodates flush mounting in prepared tooling plates. It is typically specified by tool and die makers, machinists, and fixture builders working in metalworking shops and manufacturing facilities requiring repeatable hole location accuracy.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard P-series press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixture tooling that require a permanently installed, headless bushing with a 0.209 inch bore and 1/2 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by press fitting the bushing into a prepared counterbored hole in the jig plate using an arbor press or hydraulic press. Ensure the receiving hole is machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before pressing in the bushing. The bushing is not renewable and should not be driven or hammered in a manner that distorts the bore. Verify bore alignment with the drill axis before securing the workpiece for drilling operations.
