Boneham PT1212CW Headless Drill Bushing 0.096in Id Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM PT1212CW is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision in fixed jig and fixture applications. Built to industry code P, this bushing features a 0.096 inch inside diameter (wire gauge No. 41) and a 3/16 inch body outside diameter, giving it a compact profile suited to tight tooling layouts. The overall bushing length is 3/4 inch. Constructed from steel with a controlled inside diameter tolerance of positive 0.0001 to positive 0.0004 inches, the PT1212CW delivers consistent bore guidance critical for repetitive drilling operations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

This bushing is intended for use in drill jigs and production fixtures where a permanent, non-renewable press fit installation is required. The headless profile keeps the bushing flush with the jig plate surface, making it appropriate for applications where a flanged head would interfere with workpiece clearance or fixture stacking. The counterbored design accommodates standard jig plate configurations. It is well suited to light-to-medium duty drilling, reaming, and similar guided tooling operations in both job shop and production environments.

Key Features

• Industry code P press fit installation — no locking hardware required
• Headless design sits flush with jig plate surface for unobstructed workpiece access
• Inside diameter of 0.096 inches (No. 41 wire gauge) with tight tolerance of positive 0.0001 to positive 0.0004 inches
• Counterbored body for standard fixture plate compatibility
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive guided-tool applications
• Non-renewable fixed installation for permanent jig setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for drill jigs and fixtures requiring an industry code P, press fit headless bushing with a 0.096 inch inside diameter and 3/16 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are typically installed by machinists or tool and die technicians using an arbor press to achieve interference fit seating without damaging the bore. The jig plate should be properly reamed to the specified press fit hole tolerance before installation. Do not use a hammer directly on the bushing face, as this can distort the inside diameter. Verify bushing seating depth and flush condition before placing the fixture into service.
