Boneham SFT4016JQ Slip-fixed Drill Bushing 3/8 in Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM SFT4016JQ is a slip-fixed (SF) drill bushing designed to guide cutting tools with precision during machining and jig-drilling operations. It features a 3/8 inch inside diameter, a 5/8 inch body outside diameter, and a 1 inch length under the head. The bushing is machined from steel and hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for long service life under repeated tool contact. A 7/8 inch head outside diameter and 1/4 inch head height seat the bushing securely in the jig plate. This part is installed by machinists and tool-and-die technicians working with drill jigs and fixture plates.

The SFT4016JQ is suited for use in drill jig applications where a renewable, slip-in bushing is required. The slip-fixed design allows the bushing to be inserted and locked in place using a compatible lock screw, making replacement straightforward without disturbing the jig plate. It is appropriate for both production and maintenance machining environments where consistent hole location accuracy is required.

Compatibility

Compatible with LS-TW-2 lock screws. Designed as an OEM-style renewable slip-fixed drill bushing for use in standard ANSI-compliant jig plates and fixture assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool-and-die technicians. Ensure the jig plate counterbore is clean and free of debris before pressing the bushing into position. Secure with the appropriate LS-TW-2 lock screw to prevent rotation during drilling operations. Always verify bushing seating and lock screw engagement before beginning a drilling cycle.
