Boneham P324HB Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P324HB is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during machining and drilling operations. Built to Industry Code P, this bushing features a 0.242 inch inside diameter, a 0.5 inch outside diameter, and an overall length of 0.25 inches. The inside diameter is held to a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring accurate hole location and consistent tool guidance. Constructed from steel, the P324HB is a non-renewable, headless design that installs flush with the jig plate surface. Machinists and toolmakers use this bushing in drill jigs and fixture plates where precise, repeatable hole placement is required.

The P324HB is suited for use in production and maintenance machine shops where drill jig fixtures are used to guide drill bits, reamers, or other cutting tools. Its headless profile makes it appropriate for applications where a flush or recessed installation is needed, eliminating any protrusion above the jig plate surface. The press fit installation method secures the bushing permanently in the jig body without the need for locking hardware. This part is sold and installed individually, with a minimum order quantity of one piece.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using a press or arbor press to seat the bushing into a properly toleranced jig plate bore. Power down and secure all machinery before working on or near drill jig fixtures. Do not drive the bushing with a hammer directly on the bore face, as this can deform the inside diameter. Verify jig plate bore diameter matches the bushing outside diameter specification before pressing in place.
