Boneham AM00000324 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Hm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000324 is a press fit headless drill bushing in the HM industry series, manufactured from steel for use in precision drilling and machining operations. The bushing features a 9.25-inch inside diameter, a body outside diameter of 15.00 millimeters, and an overall length of 20.00 millimeters. It is installed via press fit into a hardened drill jig plate, providing a fixed, renewable-free guide for twist drills and reamers. Machinists and tooling technicians install this component in production and repair environments where consistent hole location accuracy is required.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs across general industrial machining applications. The HM industry code designates a headless style, meaning the bushing sits flush with or below the jig plate surface, making it appropriate for applications where a protruding head would interfere with workpiece clearance or fixturing. It is commonly installed in both short-run and production-volume drilling setups where the jig plate is the primary locating fixture.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method holds the bushing securely in the jig plate without additional fasteners
• HM industry code designates headless style for flush or sub-flush seating in jig plates
• Steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for repeated drill passes
• 9.25-inch inside diameter guides the cutting tool precisely through the jig
• Non-renewable design — intended as a permanent press fit installation
• Compact body outside diameter of 15.00 millimeters suits tight jig plate layouts

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for steel drill jig plates requiring an HM-series press fit headless bushing with a 9.25-inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press with the appropriate driver. Ensure the jig plate bore is clean, dimensionally correct, and free of burrs before pressing the bushing into position. Once installed, this bushing is not designed for removal without potential damage to the jig plate bore. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and machine guarding standards during all drilling operations.
