Boneham P324FX Headless Drill Bushing 0.1935 in Id Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P324FX is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured from steel and designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. Carrying industry bushing code P, this headless style bushing features an inside diameter of 0.1935 inches (wire gauge #10) with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, a body outside diameter of 0.5 inches, and an overall length of 0.25 inches. The press fit installation method secures the bushing permanently into the jig plate without a locking collar or head flange, keeping the working surface flush and unobstructed. Machinists and tooling technicians rely on this type of bushing to maintain consistent hole location across repeated drilling operations.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs, production fixtures, and tooling plates where a permanent, flush-mount guide is required. The compact 0.25-inch overall length makes it appropriate for thin jig plates or close-tolerance assemblies where a headed bushing would interfere with workpiece clamping. The headless design and steel construction make it a standard choice in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and manufacturing environments performing repetitive hole-drilling operations.

Key Features

• Press fit installation — no locking collar required, provides a permanent seat in the jig plate
• Headless design keeps the jig surface flush for unobstructed workpiece contact
• Inside diameter of 0.1935 inches with tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise drill guidance
• Body outside diameter of 0.5 inches and overall length of 0.25 inches for compact fitment
• Steel construction for durability under repeated drilling cycles
• Industry bushing code P for straightforward cross-referencing with standard jig bushing catalogs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit bushing for drill jigs and tooling fixtures requiring a press fit headless bushing with a 0.5-inch outside diameter and 0.1935-inch inside diameter bore.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are installed by machinists or tooling technicians using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush into the jig plate bore. The jig plate hole must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation to ensure proper retention. Do not hammer the bushing in freehand, as uneven force can damage the bore geometry or misalign the bushing. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal and reuse.
