Boneham P1316CU Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P1316CU is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining operations. Classified under bushing industry code P, this headless style bushing presses directly into a jig plate without a flange or head, keeping the top face flush with the surrounding surface. The bore measures 3/32 inches in diameter with a tight inside diameter tolerance of plus 0.0001 to plus 0.0004 inches, ensuring accurate tool guidance. Manufactured from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, the P1316CU delivers the wear resistance and dimensional stability required for production drilling environments. Machinists and toolmakers install this type of bushing when a low-profile, permanent guide solution is needed in drill jigs and fixtures.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig applications across manufacturing, metalworking, and tool-and-die operations. Its 1-inch overall length provides adequate guidance depth for standard drill press and CNC drilling setups. The counterbored design accommodates proper seating in prepared jig plates. Typical users include machining shops, production facilities, and toolroom professionals working with ferrous and non-ferrous workpieces requiring repeatable hole location accuracy.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press to drive the bushing into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. Power down all machinery before handling or installing jig components. The bushing bore is hardened and should not be modified after installation. Follow applicable ANSI jig bushing standards and shop safety procedures when pressing components into fixtures.
