Boneham PT2410GB Headless Drill Bushing 0.199 in Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM PT2410GB is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel with a hardness rating of 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing delivers the wear resistance required for repetitive production drilling operations. The headless design allows flush seating in the fixture plate without a protruding flange, keeping the work surface clear. With a 0.199 inch inside diameter and a 3/8 inch outside diameter, it conforms to ANSI standards for Type P press fit bushings and is installed permanently into the jig body without a retaining liner bushing.

This bushing is used in metal fabrication, machine shops, and manufacturing environments where consistent hole placement across multiple workpieces is required. It suits drill jigs used in both low-volume and production-rate drilling of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. Toolmakers and fixture builders install this type of bushing when a fixed, non-renewable guide is the preferred design choice. The Type P designation follows the ANSI industry coding system for press fit drill bushings.

Key Features

• Press fit installation — seats permanently in the jig plate without a liner bushing
• Headless design provides a flush, unobstructed work surface
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for long service life in production drilling
• Inside diameter tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches ensures consistent tool guidance
• Meets ANSI standards for Type P headless press fit drill bushings
• Industry bushing code P for straightforward cross-reference and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press fit headless drill bushing for use in standard ANSI-compliant jig plates and fixture bodies requiring a 3/8 inch outside diameter press fit bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a properly sized and toleranced jig plate bore. The receiving bore should be sized and finished to achieve the correct interference fit before pressing the bushing in place. Do not use a hammer directly on the bushing face, as this can damage the inside diameter or distort the bushing. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or renewal.
