Boneham H1616DQ Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Type H

Product Description

The BONEHAM H1616DQ is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. Constructed from steel, this bushing features a 0.116 inch inside diameter, a 1/4 inch body outside diameter, and a 1 inch length under the head. It is permanently installed into a drill jig plate via press fit, providing a stable, fixed guide point that does not rotate or loosen during repeated drilling operations. Machinists and toolmakers rely on this style of bushing to maintain hole location accuracy across high-volume or repetitive drilling runs.

This bushing is suited for use in production drilling jigs and fixtures across machine shops, fabrication facilities, and manufacturing environments. Its headed design seats flush or slightly proud against the jig plate surface, offering a positive stop that prevents the bushing from being pushed through during press installation. The counterbored configuration accommodates the head profile, keeping the bushing securely positioned. It is a non-renewable type, meaning it is intended as a permanent fixture component rather than a field-replaceable wear insert.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headed drill bushing for use in standard drill jig and fixture assemblies requiring a Type H bushing with a 0.116 inch inside diameter and 1/4 inch body outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press to drive the bushing into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. Power down all associated machinery before installing or removing jig components. The press fit is permanent and the bushing is not intended for removal once installed. Ensure the receiving bore diameter and surface finish meet jig bushing standards prior to installation to avoid damage to the bushing or plate.
