Boneham H1316CY Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM H1316CY is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. It features an inside diameter of 0.098 inches (No. 40 wire gauge), a body outside diameter of 13/64 inches, and a length under head of 1 inch. Manufactured from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, it delivers the wear resistance required for repeated drilling cycles. Installation is permanent via press fit, making it suitable for high-volume production jigs where a fixed, non-renewable bushing is the correct choice.

This bushing is used in drill jig plates and fixture bodies across manufacturing, machining, and metalworking environments. The headed design seats against the jig plate surface to control axial positioning of the bushing without the need for a separate locking mechanism. Its counterbored seat accommodates the head profile flush or proud depending on fixture design. Machinists and toolmakers install this type of bushing during fixture fabrication or when replacing worn press fit bushings in existing jig plates.

Key Features

• Type H press fit installation — permanent, non-renewable design for stable, high-cycle use
• Inside diameter of 0.098 inches (No. 40 wire size) with tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise drill guidance
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for superior wear resistance
• Headed design with 19/64 inch head outside diameter and 3/32 inch head height for positive axial seating
• Counterbored head seat for flush or recessed mounting in jig plates
• Meets ANSI standards for interchangeability and dimensional consistency

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or original installation component for drill jigs and fixtures requiring a Type H press fit headed bushing with a 0.098 inch bore per ANSI standards.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are installed by qualified toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. The interference fit requires the receiving hole to be machined to the correct tolerance before pressing — do not attempt to hammer the bushing in freehand. Inspect the bushing bore for damage after installation. No disassembly is intended once pressed in place, as this is a permanent, non-renewable design.
