Boneham H1316CT Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM H1316CT is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. It features a 0.0935 inch inside diameter (Wire size 42), a body outside diameter of 13/64 inches, and a length under head of 1 inch. Constructed from steel hardened to 60-65 HRC, this bushing delivers the wear resistance and dimensional stability required for repetitive drilling operations in production and maintenance environments. The headed design provides a positive stop against the jig plate, preventing the bushing from being pushed through under drilling loads.

This bushing is used in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling setups across metalworking, machining, and fabrication shops. It is suited for applications where a permanent, non-renewable bushing is required and where precise hole location must be maintained across multiple workpieces. The press fit installation method locks the bushing securely into the jig plate without the need for locking mechanisms. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Type H headed design provides a positive stop flush against the jig plate surface
• Inside diameter of 0.0935 inches with a tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for consistent drill guidance
• Steel construction hardened to 60-65 HRC for extended wear life in high-cycle applications
• Press fit installation for a permanent, secure mount in the fixture plate
• Counterbored head design compatible with standard jig plate counterbore configurations
• Conforms to ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard tooling component for Type H press fit headed drill bushing applications conforming to ANSI specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool and die makers using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a prepared counterbored hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole must be machined to the correct press fit tolerance before installation. Never hammer the bushing in directly without a driver to avoid damaging the head or bore. Once pressed in, the bushing is considered permanent and is not designed for removal and reuse.
