Boneham AM00000409 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000409 is a press fit headless drill bushing with industry code PM, designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel, this bushing is pressed directly into a drill jig plate without a locking head, keeping the bushing flush with the jig surface. The inside diameter measures 11.2 inches, with a body outside diameter of 18.00 mm and an overall bushing length of 12.00 mm. This part is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is intended for permanent installation in the jig. Machinists and toolmakers rely on this type of component to maintain accurate hole location across repeated drilling operations.

This bushing suits production and toolroom environments where consistent hole placement is critical. It is appropriate for use in drill jig plates in metalworking, fabrication, and precision machining operations. The press fit design eliminates the need for a separate locking mechanism, making it suitable for jigs where a low-profile, permanent guide is required. The steel construction provides the hardness and wear resistance expected in high-cycle drilling fixtures used in industrial manufacturing settings.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method - seats permanently into the jig plate without a locking collar
• Industry code PM classification for standardized jig bushing interchangeability
• 11.2-inch inside diameter for accurate drill bit guidance
• Steel construction for hardness and long service life in repetitive drilling applications
• Non-renewable design - intended for fixed, permanent jig installations
• Compact 12.00 mm overall length suits thin jig plate applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation component for drill jig plates requiring a PM-code press fit headless bushing with an 11.2-inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are typically installed by toolmakers or machinist personnel using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush into the jig plate bore. The jig plate bore must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation to ensure proper retention. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal and reuse. Always verify bore dimensions and alignment before pressing the bushing into the plate.
