Boneham AM00000599 Drill Bushing Pm 5.4 in Id Steel

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000599 is a press fit headless drill bushing with a PM industry code designation, designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations. Constructed from steel, this bushing is pressed directly into a jig plate without a head or flange, providing a flush, low-profile seating surface. The inside diameter measures 5.4 inches, and the overall bushing length is approximately 20.00 mm. It is a non-renewable type, meaning it is permanently installed rather than swapped out during production runs. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabrication shops rely on this type of bushing to maintain hole location accuracy across repeated drilling cycles.

This drill bushing is suited for use in drill jigs and fixture plates in manufacturing and fabrication environments. The PM designation follows standard industry coding for press fit headless bushings, making it straightforward to source as a drop-in replacement within compatible jig assemblies. Typical applications include high-volume hole drilling where consistent positional accuracy is required and a fixed, non-removable guide is acceptable for the production run.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method — no head or flange, seats flush with jig plate surface
• PM industry code designation for standardized cross-referencing
• 5.4 inch inside diameter for large-bore drill guidance
• Steel construction for durability under repeated drill cycle loading
• Non-renewable design — permanently seated for stable, long-term fixture use
• Overall bushing length of 20.00 mm for consistent drill depth guidance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing for use in standard drill jig plates and fixture assemblies where a PM-coded bushing with a 5.4 inch inside diameter is specified.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by a machinist or tool-and-die professional using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing squarely into the jig plate bore. The receiving hole in the jig plate must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or replacement during service. Always verify inside diameter and bushing length against your jig design specifications before installation.
