Boneham PT5610MH Headless Drill Bushing 5/8 in Id Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM PT5610MH is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Built to Industry Code P, this bushing features a 0.625 inch inside diameter, a 0.875 inch body outside diameter, and an overall length of 0.625 inches. Manufactured from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, it resists wear under repeated drilling cycles. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within the jig plate without a protruding flange. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders install this type of component to maintain consistent hole location across production runs.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs and production fixtures where accurate hole placement is critical. The press fit installation method means the bushing is driven directly into a prepared bore in the jig plate and retained without additional hardware. It is a non-renewable style, meaning it is intended for permanent installation. Typical applications include repetitive drilling operations in metalworking environments where tight positional tolerances must be held across multiple workpieces.

Key Features

• Industry Code P press fit headless configuration for permanent jig installation
• 0.625 inch inside diameter with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0005 inches for precise tool guidance
• 0.875 inch body outside diameter and 0.625 inch overall length
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear resistance
• Headless design sits flush with the jig plate surface
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-install component for drill jigs and fixtures requiring an ANSI Industry Code P press fit headless bushing with a 0.625 inch inside diameter and 0.875 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the bushing into a precision-bored hole in the jig plate using an arbor press or hydraulic press. The receiving bore should be machined to the correct interference fit per ANSI bushing press fit standards before installation. Once pressed in, the bushing is not intended to be removed or replaced. Always verify bore diameter and surface finish before pressing to avoid bushing damage or improper seating.
