Boneham H2616GB Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM H2616GB is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing used to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. It features an inside diameter of 0.199 inches, a body outside diameter of 13/32 inch, and a length under the head of 1 inch. Constructed from steel, this bushing is pressed directly into a jig plate or fixture body without the need for a locking mechanism. It is a non-renewable design, meaning it is intended for permanent installation. Machinists and toolmakers rely on this style of bushing to maintain consistent hole location across repeated drilling operations.

This bushing is suited for production drilling, reaming, and spotfacing setups where a fixed, permanent guide is required. It is appropriate for use in drill jigs on the shop floor in both light manufacturing and high-volume production environments. The headed design prevents the bushing from being pushed through the jig plate during downward tool pressure. Its inside diameter tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches ensures reliable tool guidance with minimal positional drift. Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists during jig build or maintenance.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 0.199 inches with a tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Body outside diameter of 13/32 inch and head outside diameter of 1/2 inch
• Length under head of 1 inch accommodates standard jig plate thicknesses
• Head height of 5/32 inch provides a positive stop against the jig plate surface
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling applications
• Counterbored design and press fit installation for permanent, fixed positioning

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style Type H press fit headed drill bushing for use in standard drill jig and fixture applications where a permanent, non-renewable bushing is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker using an arbor press. The jig plate bore should be machined to the appropriate press fit tolerance before installation to ensure proper retention. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or replacement. Always verify that the jig plate material and bore finish meet the bushing manufacturer specifications before pressing to avoid galling or misalignment.
