Boneham AM00000266 Headless Drill Bushing Hm 7.6 in

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000266 is a press fit headless drill bushing in industry code HM, designed to guide cutting tools with precision during drilling operations. Manufactured from steel, this bushing is installed without a head flange, seating flush within the jig plate for applications where a low-profile fit is required. With an inside diameter of 7.6 inches, it provides a consistent bore path to maintain hole location accuracy across repeated operations. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production shop technicians install this type of bushing in drill jigs and fixtures used in metal fabrication and manufacturing environments.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig fixtures where press fit installation is the specified method and a renewable bushing design is not required. The HM industry code identifies it within the standardized Boneham drill bushing series, making it straightforward to cross-reference and source as a replacement or new-build component for production jigs. It is appropriate for light to medium duty drilling setups in manufacturing and machining shops.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, permanent seating in jig plate
• Headless design provides flush, low-profile fit where flange clearance is limited
• Steel construction for durability under repeated tool contact
• HM industry code for straightforward cross-referencing and sourcing
• Non-renewable design suits permanent jig fixture applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for drill jig fixtures requiring a press fit headless bushing with HM industry code classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool and die technicians using a press to seat the bushing into the prepared jig plate bore. Ensure the receiving bore is machined to the correct tolerance for a press fit before installation. The bushing should be pressed squarely into the plate to avoid misalignment that would affect drill guidance accuracy. Once installed, this is a permanent, non-renewable bushing and is not intended for removal and replacement during normal service.
