Boneham AM00000417 Drill Bushing Pm 11.8mm Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000417 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured to PM industry code standards. It is designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations. The bushing seats directly into a jig plate or fixture body without a flange, creating a flush, low-profile installation. Made from steel hardened to 60 to 65 HRC, the AM00000417 provides consistent bore alignment and resists wear under repeated drilling cycles. With an inside diameter of 11.80 mm, a body outside diameter of 18.00 mm, and an overall length of 25.00 mm, it fits standard jig tooling configurations used in metalworking and production drilling applications.

This bushing is intended for use in drill jig fixtures in machine shops, fabrication facilities, and production environments where repeatable hole location is required. The headless press fit design is suited for permanent installations where the bushing will not be routinely replaced during a production run. It is installed by machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working with precision drilling setups.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, secure seating in jig plates
• PM industry code designation per ANSI standards
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life
• Headless design provides a flush, low-profile fit with no flange obstruction
• Inside diameter tolerance of +0.006 to +0.017 mm for precise drill guidance
• Not counterbored - solid construction throughout the bushing length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press fit headless drill bushing conforming to ANSI PM industry code specifications for use in standard drill jig fixtures.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press - never a hammer, which can damage the bore or distort the bushing. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation. Verify bore alignment and seating depth before committing the bushing to the fixture. Once pressed in, these bushings are not designed for removal and reuse.
