Boneham AM00000591 Press Fit Drill Bushing Pm 5.2 in

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000591 is a press fit headless drill bushing conforming to the PM industry code standard. Manufactured from steel, this bushing is designed to guide cutting tools accurately during drilling operations in jig and fixture applications. It features a 5.2-inch inside diameter, a body outside diameter of approximately 0.394 inches (10.00 mm), and an overall length of approximately 0.394 inches (10.00 mm). The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within the drill jig plate, making it suitable for close-tolerance work where a flange or head would interfere with the workpiece or clamping setup. Machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators install this type of bushing during fixture assembly and maintenance.

This drill bushing is used in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and manufacturing environments where repeatable hole location accuracy is required. It is pressed directly into a mating bore in the jig plate and does not require additional locking hardware. Typical applications include production drilling fixtures, assembly jigs, and inspection tooling. Because this is a non-renewable bushing, it is intended as a permanent installation for dedicated tooling setups rather than quick-change applications.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, permanent seating in the jig plate bore
• PM industry code designation ensures dimensional conformance to standard bushing specifications
• Steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance for high-cycle drilling operations
• Headless design allows flush mounting, eliminating interference with workpieces or clamps
• Non-renewable configuration suited for fixed, dedicated tooling fixtures
• Compact form factor with 10.00 mm body outside diameter and 10.00 mm overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard PM-code press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jig plates and fixture tooling wherever a 5.2-inch inside diameter guide bushing is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tooling specialists using a hydraulic or arbor press. The mating bore in the jig plate must be finish-reamed to the correct interference fit tolerance before pressing the bushing into position. Never hammer the bushing directly without a proper driver to avoid damaging the bore or misaligning the bushing. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or reuse.
