Boneham AM00000338 Drill Bushing Hm 9.6 Inch Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000338 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining operations. Manufactured from steel and classified under the HM industry code, this bushing is pressed directly into a jig plate without the use of a head flange, keeping the top surface flush with the workpiece fixture. With an inside diameter of 9.6 inches, a body outside diameter of 15.00 mm, and an overall length of 12.00 mm, it is suited for close-tolerance drilling applications where consistent hole location is critical. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders install this type of component during jig fabrication and production drilling setups.

This drill bushing is used in industrial machining environments where a fixed, non-renewable bushing solution is required. It is appropriate for production jigs and fixtures in both light manufacturing and heavy fabrication settings. Because it is a headless design, it is well-suited for applications where a flush surface is needed and the bushing does not require routine replacement. The HM designation follows standard drill bushing industry classification, making it cross-referenceable within that coding system.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method — no fasteners or locking mechanisms required
• Headless design provides a flush, unobstructed jig plate surface
• Steel construction for durability under repeated drilling cycles
• HM industry code classification for standard cross-referencing
• Non-renewable bushing intended for permanent fixture installation
• Inside diameter of 9.6 inches for consistent drill bit guidance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press fit headless drill bushing for standard machining jigs and fixtures requiring an HM-coded, non-renewable bushing solution.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or similar pressing equipment to seat the bushing flush into the jig plate bore. Power down and secure all equipment before handling or pressing components into a fixture. The bore in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Do not use impact tools to seat the bushing, as this may cause deformation or misalignment.
