Boneham AM00000097 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Hm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000097 is a press fit headless drill bushing conforming to the HM industry code, manufactured from steel for use in jig and fixture applications. This bushing is installed without a head, keeping it flush with the jig plate surface to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision. It is pressed directly into a hardened or unhardened jig plate and is not renewable. With an inside diameter of 21.5 inches, a body outside diameter of 30.00 millimeters, and an overall length of 45.00 millimeters, this component is suited for production drilling operations where consistent hole location is required.

This drill bushing is used in manufacturing, machining, and metalworking environments where repetitive drilling to a fixed location is required. It is appropriate for installation in drill jigs on production lines and machine shops handling medium to high volumes of workpieces. The HM industry code designation identifies it as a standard headless press fit type, making it a direct reference when specifying replacement or initial build-out of drill jig assemblies. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders are the primary installers of this component.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method — no fasteners or locking collar required
• Headless design sits flush with the jig plate surface
• HM industry code for straightforward cross-referencing and specification
• Steel construction for wear resistance in repetitive drilling applications
• Non-renewable design — intended as a fixed, permanent bushing installation
• Inside diameter of 21.5 inches for compatibility with corresponding drill and cutting tool shanks

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing conforming to HM industry standards, suitable for use in standard drill jig plates and fixture assemblies requiring a fixed, flush-mount bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool and die makers using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing into a pre-machined hole in the jig plate. The mating bore in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate press fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, the bushing is not designed for removal or replacement. Confirm all machine tools and fixtures are de-energized and secured before beginning installation work.
