Boneham AM00000536 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000536 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured to industry code PM in steel construction. This bushing installs without a retaining head, seating flush or below the surface of a drill jig plate via press fit. It guides drill bits, reamers, and other cutting tools with precision during repetitive machining operations. The steel body provides dimensional stability and wear resistance under production conditions. With an inside diameter of 3.75 inches and a body outside diameter of 7.00 millimeters, it is sized for precision tooling fixture applications. Machinists and tooling specialists are the primary installers.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs and fixture plates where a headless, flush-mounted guide is required. The press fit installation method eliminates the need for a locking collar or retaining ring, making it appropriate for fixed, non-renewable tooling setups. It is used in metalworking shops, manufacturing facilities, and maintenance tooling environments where repeatable hole location accuracy is critical. The non-renewable designation means this bushing is intended for permanent installation rather than field replacement under routine production cycles.

Key Features

• Industry code PM headless design seats flush with jig plate surface
• Press fit installation - no retaining hardware required
• Steel body provides wear resistance in repetitive drilling operations
• Non-renewable configuration for permanent fixture setups
• Inside diameter of 3.75 inches for precise tool guidance
• Body outside diameter of 7.00 millimeters for standard jig plate fitment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for press fit drill jig and fixture plate applications requiring a PM-code headless bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using a drill bushing press or arbor press to seat the bushing flush into the jig plate bore. Ensure the receiving bore is machined to the appropriate press fit tolerance before installation. Do not drive the bushing with a hammer directly on the face, as this can damage the ID and affect tool guidance accuracy. Once pressed in, the bushing is not intended for removal or reuse.
