Boneham H2616FV Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Type H

Product Description

The BONEHAM H2616FV is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing used to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. It features an inside diameter of 0.191 inches (wire gauge size 11) with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring accurate hole location and repeatable positioning. The body outside diameter measures 13/32 inches with a head outside diameter of 1/2 inch and a head height of 5/32 inch. The length under the head is 1 inch. Constructed from steel, this bushing is pressed permanently into the drill jig plate and is not designed for renewal or replacement during normal production use. Machinists, tool and die makers, and jig builders are the primary installers.

This bushing suits precision drilling operations in industrial, manufacturing, and tooling environments. It is sized for applications requiring consistent drill guidance through jig plates, fixture bodies, or tooling blocks where a headed, non-renewable bushing is specified. The counterbored design accommodates the head for flush or recessed seating in the jig plate. Typical applications include production drilling jigs where the bushing remains fixed for the life of the tooling, offering reliable guidance for standard twist drills and reamers in both prototype and high-volume shop settings.

Key Features

• Type H press fit design installs permanently into the jig plate without renewal hardware
• Inside diameter of 0.191 inches (wire size 11) with tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for close-tolerance drill guidance
• Steel construction provides durability and wear resistance in repetitive drilling operations
• Head outside diameter of 1/2 inch and head height of 5/32 inch for positive seating and drill entry alignment
• Counterbored for flush or recessed head installation in jig plates
• Length under head of 1 inch accommodates standard jig plate thicknesses

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 0.191 inch inside diameter and 13/32 inch body outside diameter per industry standard bushing specifications.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press to drive the bushing flush into a precision-bored hole in the jig plate. The mating bore in the jig plate must be machined to the correct interference fit dimension per the bushing outside diameter tolerance. Do not hammer the bushing in directly without a proper driver to avoid damage to the head or bore. Always verify bore diameter and finish before installation, as this bushing is non-renewable and removal typically damages both the bushing and the plate.
