The bushing features a 3.7-inch inside diameter and is manufactured from hardened steel with a Rockwell hardness of 60 to 65 HRC, providing long service life under repeated drilling cycles. It installs without a head flange, seating flush into a bored hole via press fit. This bushing is a non-renewable design, meaning it is pressed permanently into the jig body. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders are the typical end users for this component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AM00000538 is suited for production drilling, reaming, and boring operations where a fixed, headless bushing is required. The headless profile allows the bushing to sit below or flush with the work surface, making it appropriate for applications where clearance above the jig plate is limited. It conforms to ANSI standards for drill bushings, which means it fits standard jig plate bores dimensioned to the PM bushing series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePress fit installation  -  seats permanently in the jig body without fasteners or retaining rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHardened steel construction, 60 to 65 HRC for wear resistance under repeated use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeadless design allows flush or sub-flush mounting in jig plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInside diameter tolerance of plus 0.004 to plus 0.012 mm for consistent tool guidance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eANSI-compliant PM series bushing for standardized fitment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-renewable design  -  intended for permanent installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation component for ANSI PM series jig and fixture drill bushing applications requiring a press fit, headless configuration with a 3.7-inch inside diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePress fit bushings are installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press  -  never drive with a hammer directly on the bushing face, as this can damage the bore or alter the inside diameter tolerance. Verify the mating jig plate bore diameter against the bushing outside diameter before pressing to ensure proper interference fit. Once installed, a PM bushing is not intended for removal and reuse. Always follow shop safety procedures and wear appropriate eye protection during press fitting operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBushing Industry Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: PM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation Method\u003c\/strong\u003e: Press Fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.7 inches (3.7000 decimal inch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter (mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.70 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInside Diameter Tolerance\u003c\/strong\u003e: plus 0.004 \/ plus 0.012 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Outside Diameter\u003c\/strong\u003e: 7.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Bushing Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 12.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60 to 65 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRenewable\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCounterbored\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: ANSI\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.25 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BONEHAM\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: AM00000538\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BONEHAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51739336048946,"sku":"AM00000538","price":22.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/772b15bcdae08b51210f0eebedf78b00_0d5892c7-18b3-4c90-8b9f-0ff7301500be.jpg?v=1788813283","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/boneham-am00000538-drill-bushing-pm-3-7in-id-steel","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
