Boneham AM00000415 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000415 is a press fit headless drill bushing conforming to industry code PM, designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel, this bushing seats permanently into a drill jig plate without a retaining head, keeping the top surface flush. The inside diameter measures 11.8 inches, and the body outside diameter is 18.00 mm with an overall bushing length of 12.00 mm. It is installed using a press fit method, requiring no locking collar or removable hardware. Machinists, tool and die makers, and production drilling setups rely on this bushing type for repeatable, accurate hole placement across high-volume work.

This bushing is suited for use in production drilling jigs where a permanent, headless configuration is required. The flush-mount design makes it appropriate for applications where workpiece clearance above the jig plate is limited. At a weight of 0.5 pounds, the AM00000415 is compact and practical for integration into custom or standard jig plate assemblies. It is used across metal fabrication shops, toolrooms, and manufacturing environments where consistent drill guidance is critical to part accuracy.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Press fit headless drill bushings are typically installed by tool and die makers or skilled machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press. The receiving jig plate bore should be machined to the specified interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended to be removed or reused. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and ensure the press and workpiece are properly supported before applying force.
