Boneham H2016DV Type H Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM H2016DV is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing manufactured from steel and designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling operations. It features an inside diameter of 0.125 inches (1/8 inch) and a body outside diameter of 5/16 inches, with a length under the head of 1 inch. The head outside diameter measures 27/64 inches and the head height is 1/8 inch. Hardness is rated at 60 to 65 HRC, providing the wear resistance required for repetitive production drilling. Inside diameter tolerance is held to +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches. This bushing is installed by press fit and is not renewable. It is counterbored and conforms to ANSI standards. Machinists and tooling engineers specify this type of bushing for jig and fixture work.

The H2016DV is suited for use in drill jigs and fixtures across a wide range of machining applications. It is commonly used in production environments where a fixed, permanently installed bushing is required to maintain accurate hole location and tool alignment across multiple workpieces. The headed design seats against the jig plate surface, providing a positive stop and preventing the bushing from being pushed through under drilling load. It is appropriate for use with standard twist drills, reamers, and similar rotary cutting tools in the 1/8 inch diameter range.

Key Features

• Type H press fit installation — no locking collar or liner bushing required
• Inside diameter 0.125 inches with tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Hardness 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life in repetitive drilling operations
• Counterbored head seats flush or proud against jig plate surface
• Steel construction resists deformation under drilling loads
• Conforms to ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as a fixed, non-renewable press fit drill bushing for use in jig plates and tooling fixtures requiring a 5/16 inch body bore and 1/8 inch tool guide diameter conforming to ANSI Type H specifications.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by a toolmaker or machinist using an arbor press or hydraulic press — never drive with a hammer directly on the bushing face, as this can damage the bore or distort the head seating surface. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, the H2016DV is not intended for removal or replacement. Verify bore alignment in the fixture before pressing the bushing to final depth.
