Boneham AM00000084 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Hm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000084 is a headless press fit drill bushing manufactured to HM industry standards in steel. It is designed to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision during machining and fabrication operations. The bushing features a 2.8-inch inside diameter and a body outside diameter of 6.00 millimeters, with an overall bushing length of 16.00 millimeters. Press fit installation means no fasteners or locking hardware are required — the bushing seats directly into the jig plate bore under controlled press force. Machinists, tool and die technicians, and fabrication shop personnel install this type of bushing as part of drill jig tooling setups where repeatable hole location accuracy is required.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig applications across light manufacturing, metalworking, and precision fabrication environments. It is a non-renewable design, meaning it is permanently installed into the jig body rather than retained with a liner bushing for field replacement. The HM industry code designates the bushing's dimensional series, allowing direct cross-reference to standard tooling catalogs. Typical installations include production drilling jigs in machine shops where consistent hole placement across multiple workpieces is critical.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method — no additional hardware or lock rings required
• HM industry bushing code for standard dimensional cross-reference
• 2.8-inch inside diameter to guide drill bits or reamers
• Steel construction for durability in production drilling environments
• Non-renewable design — permanently installed into the jig plate
• UNSPSC Code 31171603 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing conforming to HM industry dimensional standards, suitable for installation in drill jig plates bored to the corresponding press fit tolerance for this bushing series.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by qualified machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press — never drive the bushing with a hammer, as this can damage the bore geometry or split the jig plate. Ensure the jig plate bore is machined to the correct press fit tolerance for the HM series before installation. Once seated, this bushing is not intended for removal or replacement in the field. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and de-energize any machinery before performing jig maintenance.
