Boneham AM00000533 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000533 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured to industry code PM. It is made from steel and is designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations. The bushing features a 3.6-inch inside diameter, a body outside diameter of approximately 0.276 inches (7.00 mm), and an overall length of approximately 0.630 inches (16.00 mm). This type of bushing is pressed directly into a jig plate without a head flange, keeping the bushing flush with or below the jig surface. Machinists, toolmakers, and fabrication shops install these components when setting up drill jigs for repetitive hole-location work.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig applications across general manufacturing, metalworking, and fabrication environments. It is appropriate for production runs where consistent hole placement is required. The headless press fit design makes it a good fit for jig plates where a low-profile or flush-mount installation is necessary. It is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is intended for permanent installation rather than routine field replacement.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method - no retaining hardware required
• Headless design sits flush with jig plate surface
• Steel construction for durability in production drilling environments
• Inside diameter of 3.6 inches for precise drill bit guidance
• Body outside diameter of approximately 0.276 inches (7.00 mm)
• Conforms to bushing industry code PM

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing conforming to industry code PM, suitable for use in standard drill jig plates requiring a permanent, flush-mount bushing installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the bushing into a properly sized hole in the jig plate using an arbor press or hydraulic press. Power down all associated machinery before installing or removing jig components. The jig plate hole tolerance should match the PM press fit specification to ensure secure retention. This is a non-renewable bushing and is not intended to be removed and reinstalled after initial press fit.
