Boneham P565LK Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P565LK is a headless press fit drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. It carries an inside diameter of 0.5 inches and a body outside diameter of 0.875 inches, with an overall length of 0.3125 inches. Manufactured from hardened steel and rated at 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing resists wear through repeated drilling cycles. It is installed without a head, keeping a low profile where surface clearance is limited. This type of bushing is a standard consumable in precision machining and fabrication shops.

The P565LK is used in press fit drill jig applications where a permanent, non-renewable bushing is required. The headless design suits fixtures where a flush or near-flush surface is needed on the jig plate. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and production fabricators working with drill jigs that require consistent hole location across repeated operations. This bushing conforms to ANSI standards and fits the Industry Code P bushing classification.

Key Features

• Headless press fit design installs flush for low-profile fixture applications
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0005 inches ensures precise drill bit guidance
• Hardened steel construction rated at 60 to 65 HRC for extended service life
• Conforms to ANSI standards for Industry Code P drill bushings
• Non-renewable design provides a permanent, stable bushing seat in the jig plate
• Compact overall length of 0.3125 inches suits thin jig plate configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or original fitment for drill jigs and fixtures requiring a Code P headless press fit bushing with a 0.5 inch inside diameter and 0.875 inch outside diameter per ANSI standards.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are typically installed by machinists or tool and die technicians using an arbor press to achieve proper seating without damaging the bore. Ensure the jig plate hole is machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before pressing in the bushing. Do not hammer the bushing directly without a driver to avoid distortion. Once installed, a headless press fit bushing is considered permanent and is not intended for removal and reuse.
