Boneham H265FU Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Type H Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM H265FU is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing manufactured from steel for use in jig and fixture applications. It features an inside diameter of 0.189 inches with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, a body outside diameter of 13/32 inches, and a head outside diameter of 1/2 inch. The bushing installs permanently into a drill jig plate via press fit, guiding drill bits, reamers, or other cutting tools with consistent repeatable accuracy. Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators use this component in production drilling setups where hole location accuracy is critical.

The H265FU is suited for permanent installation in drill jig plates used in metal fabrication, machining, and assembly operations. The headed design seats flush against the jig plate surface, resisting axial pull-through during drilling operations. With a length under head of 5/16 inches and a head height of 5/32 inches, this bushing fits standard jig plate thicknesses common in light to medium production tooling. It is not renewable and is intended as a fixed-location guide bushing.

Key Features

• Type H press fit design for permanent, non-renewable installation
• Inside diameter of 0.189 inches (Industry Wire Size 12) with tolerance +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Steel construction for durability under repeated drilling cycles
• Headed style with 1/2 inch head OD resists axial pull-through in jig plates
• Length under head of 5/16 inches suits standard jig plate thicknesses
• UNSPSC Code 31171603 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type H press fit headed drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixtures requiring a permanent guide bushing with a 0.189 inch bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the bushing into a precision-bored hole in the jig plate using an arbor press or hydraulic press — never drive with a hammer directly on the head. Ensure the jig plate bore is machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not renewable and removal will damage the bushing. Deburr the jig plate bore and clean the hole before pressing to avoid galling the bushing OD.
