Boneham AM00000405 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000405 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision in machining and metalworking applications. Classified under industry code PM, this bushing features a 10.8-inch inside diameter and is manufactured from steel for durability under repeated tooling cycles. It is installed without a head flange, allowing it to sit flush within jig plates and fixture bodies. Machinists and tooling specialists use this type of bushing in drill jigs where accurate hole placement is required. The bushing is not renewable, meaning it is pressed into a fixed position and is intended as a permanent installation within the fixture assembly.

This bushing is suited for industrial machining environments where consistent drill guidance is needed across production runs. It fits into drill jig plates in manufacturing facilities, job shops, and toolroom settings. Its steel construction handles the forces generated during standard drilling operations. With an overall bushing length of 20.00 millimeters and a 10.8-inch inside diameter, it accommodates drill bit shanks in that size range for repeatable, guided drilling work.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method seats the bushing securely in the jig plate without fasteners
• Headless design allows flush mounting within fixture bodies
• Steel construction provides strength and wear resistance during drilling operations
• Industry code PM classification for compatibility with standard jig bushing systems
• 10.8-inch inside diameter for precise drill bit guidance
• Overall bushing length of 20.00 millimeters for consistent seating depth

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for standard press fit headless drill jig bushing applications using the PM industry classification.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using a press or arbor press to drive the bushing into a properly reamed hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before pressing the bushing in place. Because this is a non-renewable bushing, removal typically damages the part and the surrounding fixture material, so confirm placement before pressing. Power down any associated machinery before performing jig modifications or bushing replacements.
