Boneham H2016ES Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM H2016ES is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing used to guide cutting tools accurately during drilling operations. Manufactured from steel, this bushing features a 0.154 inch inside diameter (wire size No. 23), a 5/16 inch body outside diameter, and a 1 inch length under the head. The headed design seats flush against a jig plate, providing a positive stop that controls depth and alignment. An inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches ensures consistent tool guidance across repeated production cycles. Machinists, toolmakers, and jig-and-fixture builders install this part as a fixed, non-renewable bushing in drill jig applications.

The H2016ES is suited for use in production drill jigs where the bushing is intended to remain permanently installed once pressed into the jig plate. The press fit installation method locks the bushing in place without additional fasteners. The counterbored seat and head configuration are standard for Type H headed bushings used in precision metalworking, light fabrication, and tooling fixture applications. Sold individually as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by a toolmaker or machinist using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a precision-bored hole in the jig plate. Ensure the receiving hole is machined to the correct press fit tolerance before installation. This is a non-renewable bushing and is not designed for field removal or replacement once installed. Follow applicable shop safety procedures when operating pressing equipment.
