Boneham PT2010EG Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM PT2010EG is a press fit headless drill bushing used to guide twist drills, reamers, and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. This bushing carries industry code P and features a 9/64-inch inside diameter, a 5/16-inch outside diameter, and a 5/8-inch overall length. It is manufactured from steel hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, providing the wear resistance needed to maintain hole-location accuracy through repeated production runs. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders install this component directly into a drill jig plate using an arbor press or similar interference-fit method, with no head to limit stack height.

This bushing suits standard press fit jig plate installations in general machining environments. Its headless profile makes it appropriate for applications where a flush or sub-flush bushing surface is required. The P-series designation conforms to ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions, making it a direct-fit choice in jigs designed to that specification. It is sold individually and fits production, toolroom, and maintenance machining operations.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method — no liner bushing required
• Headless design allows flush seating in jig plates
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• ANSI-standard P-series dimensions for compatibility with standardized jig designs
• Compact overall length of 5/8 inches suits thin jig plate configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI-standard P-series press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixtures requiring a 5/16-inch outside diameter press fit bore and a 9/64-inch tool guide bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolmaker using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a properly sized jig plate bore. The receiving bore must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance to ensure the bushing seats without rotation or axial movement during drilling. Power down and secure any equipment associated with the jig before replacing a worn bushing. Do not hammer the bushing in freehand, as this can cause misalignment or damage to the bore wall.
