Boneham H4016JW Press Fit Headed Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM H4016JW is a Type H press fit headed drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Manufactured from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing delivers consistent bore alignment in jig and fixture applications. The headed design seats flush against the jig plate, providing a positive stop that resists axial pull-through under repeated tool passes. With a 0.386 inch inside diameter and a 1 inch length under head, it suits production drilling setups where repeatable hole location is critical. Installation is permanent — no liner or lock is required.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs, fixture plates, and tooling blocks across metalworking, machining, and fabrication environments. It is typically installed in machine shops, tool rooms, and production facilities where close-tolerance hole guidance is required. The ANSI-compliant design makes it appropriate for use in standard jig tooling built to industry specifications. Machinists and toolmakers are the primary installers in both job shop and high-volume production settings.

Key Features

• Press fit installation — permanently seats into the jig plate without additional hardware
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for wear resistance under repeated tool passes
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0005 inches for precise tool guidance
• Headed design provides a positive axial stop against the jig plate surface
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and performance
• Non-renewable design — intended as a permanent fixture component

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headed drill bushing conforming to ANSI Type H dimensional standards, suitable for use in drill jigs and fixture plates that accept a 5/8 inch OD press fit bushing with a headed configuration.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press — never a hammer, which can damage the bore or distort the bushing. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal or reuse. Ensure the jig plate and bushing bore are clean and free of burrs prior to pressing.
