Boneham H265HB Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing Type H

Product Description

The BONEHAM H265HB is a press fit headed drill bushing classified as Type H, designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining and fabrication operations. The bushing features an inside diameter of 0.242 inches with a tight tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches, ensuring accurate tool guidance and repeatable hole location. Constructed from steel, the H265HB is built for durability in production jig and fixture applications. Installation is permanent via press fit, eliminating the need for screws or locking mechanisms. Machinists and toolmakers install this bushing directly into drill jig plates and fixtures on the shop floor.

The H265HB is suited for use in drill jigs, fixture plates, and production tooling setups where consistent hole placement is required. The headed design provides a positive stop against the jig plate surface, controlling the depth the bushing seats into the fixture. This bushing is appropriate for both light and moderate production runs across metalworking, fabrication, and general machining environments where non-renewable, permanently installed bushing solutions are specified.

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Type H press fit headed drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixture plates requiring a permanent bushing with a 0.242 inch bore. Compatible with jig plates machined to accept a 13/32 inch body outside diameter press fit bushing per industry standard practices.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using a press or arbor press to seat the bushing into a properly sized hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole in the fixture must be machined to the appropriate press fit tolerance to ensure the bushing seats without damage. Always power down and de-energize any associated machinery before modifying or replacing tooling components. The H265HB is a non-renewable bushing and is not designed for removal or replacement once pressed into service.
