Boneham P1616DO Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM P1616DO is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling, reaming, and boring operations. Manufactured from steel, this bushing features a 0.113 inch inside diameter (wire size #33) and a 0.25 inch body outside diameter with a 1 inch overall length. It installs via press fit into a jig plate or fixture body without a head flange, keeping the bushing flush with the plate surface. This style is commonly used in production jigs where a smooth upper surface is required and the bushing is intended to remain permanently in place.

This bushing is suited for metalworking and machining applications in both job shop and production environments. It fits standard drill jig plates and fixtures where headless, non-renewable bushings are specified. The counterbored design accommodates specific fixture configurations requiring recessed seating. Machinists and tool-and-die makers install this component when building or refurbishing drill jigs that demand repeatable hole location accuracy.

Key Features

• Press fit installation for permanent, secure seating in jig plates
• Headless design provides a flush surface — no flange to interfere with workpiece or tooling
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0004 inches ensures precise tool guidance
• Counterbored body accommodates recessed fixture mounting configurations
• Steel construction provides durability under repeated drilling cycles
• Industry code P classification for straightforward replacement sourcing

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for standard drill jig fixtures and tooling plates requiring a headless, non-renewable press fit bushing with a 0.113 inch inside diameter and 0.25 inch outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tool-and-die maker using an arbor press to seat the bushing into the prepared jig plate bore. The receiving hole in the fixture must be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before pressing the bushing into position. Power down any associated machinery before performing jig maintenance or bushing replacement. Because this is a non-renewable bushing, removal will damage the component and the host bore should be inspected before installing a replacement.
