Boneham CB00000017 Headless Drill Bushing 13/64 Id 3/8 Od

Product Description

The BONEHAM CB00000017 is a press fit headless drill bushing used to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. With an inside diameter of 13/64 inches and a body outside diameter of 3/8 inches, this bushing maintains consistent hole location across repeated drilling operations. The overall length is 1 inch. Constructed from steel, it is designed for permanent installation without renewal. The press fit installation method seats the bushing securely into a jig plate without mechanical fasteners. Machinists, toolmakers, and precision fabricators install this type of component in production drilling and reaming setups.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs, fixtures, and tooling plates where controlled hole guidance is required. The headless profile allows the bushing to sit flush or below the surface of the jig plate, which is common in close-tolerance layouts where a flange would interfere with adjacent features or workpiece contact. It is appropriate for both manual and CNC-assisted jig drilling operations in machine shops and production environments handling steel and similar materials.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 13/64 inches with a tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for close-fit tool guidance
• Body outside diameter of 3/8 inches for press fit seating in standard jig plate bores
• Overall length of 1 inch provides stable tool guidance depth
• Headless design enables flush or sub-flush installation in jig plates
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling applications
• Non-renewable design — permanently installed, no liner or locking mechanism required

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for drill jigs and tooling fixtures requiring a press fit headless bushing with a 13/64 inch bore and 3/8 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by a toolmaker or machinist using an arbor press or hydraulic press — never driven in with a hammer, which can damage the bore or distort the bushing. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate tolerance for the 3/8 inch outside diameter to achieve proper interference fit. Verify bore alignment before pressing to final depth. Once installed, this bushing is not designed for removal or renewal.
