Boneham P1316CT Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P1316CT is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision in metalworking and fabrication applications. Classified under Bushing Industry Code P, this bushing features a 0.0935 inch inside diameter (Wire Gauge 42), a 13/64 inch body outside diameter, and a 1 inch overall length. Manufactured from steel with a hardness rating of 60 to 65 HRC, it delivers the wear resistance and dimensional stability required for accurate, repeatable hole location. The inside diameter tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches ensures tight, consistent guidance for cutting tools throughout the drilling operation.

This bushing is used in drill jigs and fixture plates across machining, toolmaking, and production drilling operations. It is suited for both manual and CNC-assisted drilling setups where a headless, flush-mounted bushing is required. The counterbored design allows proper seating in a prepared jig plate. It is a non-renewable, permanent-installation bushing intended for setups where bushing replacement is not required during the service life of the fixture.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, permanent seating in jig plates
• Headless design mounts flush with the jig plate surface
• 0.0935 inch inside diameter with plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inch tolerance for precise drill guidance
• 60 to 65 HRC hardness for extended wear resistance under repeated drilling cycles
• Counterbored body for proper fixture plate engagement
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for standard ANSI-compliant drill jig fixtures requiring a press fit headless bushing with a P industry code classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinist tradespeople using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. The mating hole in the fixture must be machined to the correct press fit tolerance before installation. Do not drive the bushing with a hammer, as this can damage the bore geometry or outer surface. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal and reinstallation.
