Boneham H1316BW Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Type H

Product Description

The BONEHAM H1316BW is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from hardened steel with a Rockwell hardness rating of 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing delivers consistent bore alignment and long service life under repeated drilling cycles. The inside diameter is 0.067 inches (wire gauge number 51) with an inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, making it suitable for close-tolerance work. The counterbored head design allows flush or near-flush seating in the jig plate. Licensed machinists, toolmakers, and precision fabricators specify this bushing for production drilling setups where positional accuracy is critical.

The H1316BW is used in drill jigs for metalworking, aerospace, automotive, and general precision manufacturing applications. It installs directly into a prepared hole in a jig plate via press fit, requiring no additional locking hardware. The headed design provides a positive stop against the jig plate surface, controlling the bushing depth automatically during installation. This bushing conforms to ANSI standards and is sized for single-use press-fit service rather than renewable replacement cycles.

Key Features

• Type H press fit installation — no locking collar or set screw required
• Inside diameter of 0.067 inches (wire size number 51) with tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches
• Hardened steel construction at 60 to 65 HRC for abrasion resistance and extended tool life
• Counterbored head allows flush seating against jig plate surface
• 1 inch length under head accommodates standard jig plate thicknesses
• Conforms to ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI-standard Type H press fit headed drill bushing for use in machined drill jigs requiring a permanent, non-renewable bushing with a 0.067 inch bore diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press to drive the bushing into a reamed jig plate bore. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be finish-reamed to the correct press fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal and reuse. Verify bore alignment with the jig design before pressing to final depth.
