Boneham P1316BR Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P1316BR is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. It features a 0.0625 inch (1/16 inch) inside diameter bore with a tight tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches, ensuring repeatable hole location accuracy across production runs. The body outside diameter measures 13/64 inches, and the overall length is 1 inch. Manufactured from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, the P1316BR resists wear and maintains dimensional stability under repeated drilling cycles. It is installed headless and press fit directly into the jig plate without a retaining flange. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

The P1316BR is suited for precision drilling jigs, boring fixtures, and production tooling setups where consistent hole registration is required. Its headless profile allows flush mounting in plates where a headed bushing would interfere with workpiece clearance or tool travel. The counterbored feature accommodates proper seating during press installation. This bushing meets ANSI standards and is appropriate for light-production and high-volume fixture work in machine shops, manufacturing cells, and toolroom environments. The 1 inch overall length provides adequate guidance depth for short-to-medium length drill bits.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, interference-fit retention in jig plates
• Headless design allows flush mounting where flange clearance is not available
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches for precise tool guidance
• Hardened steel construction at 60 to 65 HRC for long service life under repeated drilling cycles
• Counterbored body aids controlled seating during press installation
• Conforms to ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or original installation component for ANSI-standard drill jig fixtures requiring a press fit headless bushing with a 1/16 inch inside diameter and 13/64 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings require an arbor press or similar tooling to seat the bushing squarely and fully into the jig plate bore. Verify the receiving bore diameter in the jig plate matches the specified outside diameter before pressing to avoid galling or misalignment. Do not use a hammer directly on the bushing face, as this can damage the bore or alter concentricity. Replacement or installation should be performed by a qualified toolmaker or machinist following applicable shop practices.
