Boneham P565LP Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P565LP is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured from steel, designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. With an inside diameter of 33/64 inches and a body outside diameter of 7/8 inches, this bushing provides accurate hole location and consistent drill guidance across repeated operations. The overall bushing length is 5/16 inches. The headless design allows for flush-mount installation where a headed bushing would interfere with the workpiece or fixture plate. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production drill jig operators rely on this type of bushing to maintain hole position accuracy across high-volume drilling runs.

The P565LP is suited for use in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling assemblies in both job shop and production manufacturing environments. The press fit installation method means the bushing is driven directly into a prepared hole in the jig body without the need for a liner bushing or locking mechanism. It is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is intended as a permanent installation. Typical applications include metalworking, woodworking fixtures, and general machining operations where repeatable drill guidance is required.

Key Features

• Press fit installation — no liner bushing or locking collar required
• Headless design allows flush or below-surface mounting in fixture plates
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0005 inches for close drill guidance
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling operations
• Non-renewable, permanent installation style
• Bushing Industry Code P for standard identification and cross-reference

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit drill jig bushing conforming to Bushing Industry Code P. Compatible with jig and fixture applications requiring a 33/64 inch inside diameter and 7/8 inch outside diameter press fit headless bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or similar controlled pressing equipment to seat the bushing flush within the prepared jig plate bore. Ensure the receiving hole is machined to the correct tolerance for a press fit before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal or replacement. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and de-energize or secure any powered equipment before working on fixtures or tooling assemblies.
