Boneham SP00005173 Press Fit Headless Bushing P 21/64 Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM SP00005173 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling, reaming, or boring operations in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel, this Type P headless bushing features a 21/64 inch inside diameter and a 5/8 inch outside diameter, with an overall length of 5/8 inch. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within a jig plate, making it suitable where a protruding flange would interfere with workpiece clearance or tool travel. Installation requires a press fit into a prepared bore, providing a secure, non-rotating fit throughout the service life of the tooling fixture.

This bushing is used in metalworking, machining, and fabrication environments where repeatable hole location accuracy is required. Type P headless bushings are a standard component in drill jig assemblies across production machining shops, maintenance facilities, and toolroom operations. The steel construction provides wear resistance suitable for repeated drill cycles without significant bore degradation. A single unit is supplied per package, appropriate for individual fixture builds or direct replacement of worn bushings in existing jig setups.

Key Features

• Type P headless press fit design seats flush with jig plate surface
• 21/64 inch inside diameter for precise tool guidance
• 5/8 inch outside diameter with 5/8 inch overall length
• Steel construction for wear resistance and long service life in production drilling
• Non-renewable design provides a stable, permanent fit in the jig bore
• Conforms to standard drill bushing industry coding for straightforward sourcing and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for drill jig fixtures requiring a Type P headless press fit bushing with a 21/64 inch inside diameter and 5/8 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. The mating bore in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate tolerance to achieve the correct interference fit. Do not drive the bushing in with impact tools, as this can damage the bushing bore or distort the jig plate. Always verify inside diameter condition and alignment before returning the fixture to service.
