Boneham P8816OR Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P8816OR is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. This bushing installs permanently into a jig plate without the need for a locking mechanism, making it suited for high-volume production fixtures where the bushing is not intended to be removed during the production run. With a 1 inch inside diameter, a body outside diameter of 1-3/8 inches, and an overall length of 1 inch, it fits standard jig tooling layouts. The steel construction is hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for long service life under repeated tool contact.

This bushing is used in tool and fixture applications across manufacturing, machining, and metalworking environments. Industry code P identifies it within the ANSI-standardized drill bushing system, allowing direct cross-reference with other P-series components. Machinists and tooling engineers install this bushing into drill jigs to maintain accurate hole location and consistent tolerances across production runs. It is appropriate for permanent installations where tool guidance requirements remain fixed throughout a job.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, fixed placement in jig plates
• Headless design sits flush with the jig plate surface, no head protrusion
• 1 inch inside diameter with a tolerance of +0.0002 to +0.0006 inches for precise tool guidance
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for wear resistance
• ANSI-compliant bushing industry code P for standardized fitment
• Non-renewable design intended for permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI P-series press fit headless drill bushing for use in standard drill jig fixtures requiring a 1 inch ID permanent bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the bushing into a precision-bored hole in a jig plate using an arbor press or hydraulic press. The receiving bore must be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance to ensure the bushing seats securely and does not rotate or shift in service. Power down all associated machinery before handling or installing jig components. Because this is a non-renewable bushing, plan fixture layouts carefully before pressing in place, as removal typically damages the bushing or the plate.
