Boneham AM00000036 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Hm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000036 is a headless press fit drill bushing conforming to the HM industry code. It is designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining and fabrication operations. The bushing installs without a head flange, sitting flush within the jig plate for low-profile tooling setups. Manufactured from steel with a hardness rating of 60 to 65 HRC, it delivers the wear resistance required for repetitive drilling cycles. The 13.00 mm inside diameter and 22.00 mm body outside diameter suit standard jig and fixture applications. Machinists and toolmakers install this bushing in drill jigs on manual or CNC drill presses.

This bushing is suited for precision drilling jigs used in metalworking, light manufacturing, and toolroom applications. It fits into a bored hole in the jig plate via press fit installation, eliminating the need for liner bushings in permanent setups. The 16.00 mm overall length provides adequate guidance depth for short to medium drill lengths. The inside diameter tolerance of plus 0.006 to plus 0.017 mm conforms to ANSI standards and ensures consistent tool guidance across production runs. This is a non-renewable bushing intended for long-term or permanent installation.

Key Features

• HM industry code headless design for flush, low-profile jig plate installation
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life in repetitive drilling
• 13.00 mm inside diameter with a tight tolerance of plus 0.006 to plus 0.017 mm for accurate tool guidance
• 22.00 mm body outside diameter and 16.00 mm overall length
• Press fit installation method for permanent, non-renewable mounting
• Meets ANSI standards for drill bushing dimensions and tolerances

Compatibility

Designed as an ANSI-conforming HM headless press fit drill bushing for use in standard drill jig plates requiring a 13.00 mm bore guidance application.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a machinist or toolmaker using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush within the jig plate bore. Ensure the receiving bore is clean, properly sized, and within tolerance before pressing. This is a permanent, non-renewable bushing and should not be removed once installed without risk of damage to the jig plate. Always confirm tool clearance and bushing alignment before initiating drilling operations.
