Boneham P4022JE Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P4022JE is a press fit headless drill bushing used to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. It features a 0.348 inch inside diameter, a 5/8 inch body outside diameter, and a 1-3/8 inch overall length. Machined from steel and designed for permanent installation, this bushing is pressed directly into a drill jig plate without a head flange, providing a flush, low-profile fit. It carries industry bushing code P and is suited for applications requiring close, repeatable hole location tolerances.

This bushing is used in metalworking, fabrication, and machining environments where a fixed, non-renewable guide bushing is required. The headless design makes it appropriate for jig plates where a protruding head would interfere with the workpiece or fixturing. It accepts drill, reamer, and similar tooling sized to the 0.348 inch bore. Machinists, toolmakers, and jig builders install this type of bushing in production and maintenance shop settings.

Key Features

• Press fit installation — no set screws or retaining hardware required
• Headless design sits flush with the jig plate surface
• 0.348 inch ID with a tight inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0005 inches for precise tool guidance
• 5/8 inch body outside diameter for secure retention in the jig plate bore
• 1-3/8 inch overall length provides extended tool guidance depth
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling operations
• Non-renewable design — intended for permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixtures requiring a press fit, headless, non-renewable bushing with industry code P designation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinist personnel using an arbor press or similar pressing equipment to seat the bushing flush into the jig plate bore. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance to ensure proper retention. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or replacement. Inspect the jig plate bore for burrs or damage before pressing to avoid distorting the bushing ID.
