Boneham P6416NC Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM P6416NC is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide twist drills, reamers, and similar cutting tools to precise locations in jigs and fixtures. Built to ANSI standards, this P-series bushing features a 0.75-inch inner diameter, a 1-inch outer diameter, and a 1-inch overall length. Manufactured from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, it provides the wear resistance and dimensional stability required for repetitive production drilling operations. It installs permanently without a retaining screw, making it suited for applications where the bushing does not need to be exchanged between operations.

This bushing is used in drill jig applications across metalworking, tooling, and fixture fabrication environments. The press fit installation method means it seats directly into a reamed hole in the jig plate with an interference fit, locking it in place. It is appropriate for high-volume drilling setups where a fixed, non-renewable bushing is acceptable. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working in job shops or production facilities are the typical installers of this component.

Key Features

• P-series industry code, compatible with ANSI drill bushing standards
• Headless design for flush or sub-flush seating in jig plates
• Hardened steel construction at 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.0001 to +0.0005 inches for precise tool guidance
• Non-renewable press fit installation — permanent seating without a locking screw
• 1-inch overall length provides adequate tool guidance depth for standard jig plates

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for ANSI-compliant drill jigs and fixtures requiring a P-series press fit headless bushing with a 0.75-inch bore.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press into a precision-reamed hole in the jig body. The receiving hole should be reamed to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, the bushing is not intended for removal or replacement. Always verify bore diameter and jig plate thickness before pressing to avoid bushing distortion or plate damage.
