Boneham AM00000567 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000567 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured to industry code PM. It is designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations, providing consistent hole location and protecting workpiece materials from premature wear. The bushing features a 4.6-inch inside diameter and a steel construction that holds up under repetitive drilling cycles. At 0.25 pounds, it is compact and suited for integration into drill jigs and fixtures used in production and maintenance environments. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die makers, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This drill bushing is applied in jig and fixture setups where repeatable hole positioning is required. It is press fit directly into a jig plate or fixture body without a head, keeping the mounting profile flush and low-clearance. This makes it well suited for applications where a protruding flange would interfere with workpiece travel or clamping. It is commonly found in metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and industrial maintenance environments handling steel, aluminum, and similar materials.

Key Features

• Press fit headless design allows flush installation in jig plates and fixtures
• Industry code PM classification for standard interchangeability
• 4.6-inch inside diameter for precise drill guidance
• Steel construction provides durability under repeated drilling cycles
• Non-renewable design for permanent fixture installations
• Lightweight at 0.25 pounds for easy handling during setup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard fitment for press fit headless drill bushing applications requiring a PM industry code bushing with a 4.6-inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by machinists or toolmakers using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing squarely into the jig plate bore. The receiving bore should be machined to the appropriate tolerance to ensure a secure interference fit. Do not hammer the bushing in with an unsupported strike, as this can cause misalignment or damage to the bushing bore. Verify inside diameter clearance against the drill or reamer being guided before final installation.
