Boneham AM00000196 Drill Bushing Hm 5.6 Inch Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000196 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured to HM industry standards. It is used to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations. The bushing features a 5.6-inch inside diameter and a steel construction, making it well suited for production drilling applications where consistent hole location and wear resistance are required. With an overall bushing length of approximately 0.787 inches (20.00 mm) and a body outside diameter of approximately 0.394 inches (10.00 mm), this bushing installs without a head flange, allowing flush seating in jig plates. It is installed by press fitting directly into a prepared hole in a drill jig or fixture.

This bushing is used in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and manufacturing environments where drill jigs require precise hole guidance. The headless HM-style design is common in production runs where the bushing must sit flush with the jig surface. It is appropriate for use in both light and medium-duty drilling setups and is handled by machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press into a precisely reamed hole in the jig plate. Ensure the receiving hole is machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation. The bushing should be pressed in squarely to avoid cocking or damage to the bore. Do not attempt to drive the bushing with a hammer directly on the face.
