Boneham AM00000603 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000603 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision in production and tooling applications. Built to the PM industry code, this bushing installs permanently into a drill jig or fixture without a locking mechanism or head flange. It is manufactured from hardened steel with a Rockwell hardness of 60 to 65 HRC, providing long service life under high-cycle drilling conditions. The inside diameter measures 5.6 inches with a tolerance of +0.004 to +0.012 mm, ensuring consistent hole location and reduced drill wander. At 0.25 pounds, the part is compact and suited for integration into precision tooling assemblies.

This bushing is used in machine shops, production facilities, and fabrication environments where repeatable hole placement is required. It is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is pressed into the jig body as a permanent installation. Typical applications include jig drilling setups in metalworking operations. Toolmakers, machinists, and fixture designers specify this part for tooling plates and drill jig assemblies requiring a flush, headless profile. The bushing meets ANSI standards, making it appropriate for standardized tooling programs.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, vibration-resistant seating in jig bodies
• PM industry code designation for standardized headless bushing form factor
• Hardened steel construction rated 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life
• Inside diameter of 5.6 inches with tight tolerance for accurate drill guidance
• Body outside diameter of 10.00 mm and overall length of 10.00 mm for compact installation
• Meets ANSI standards for dimensional consistency and interchangeability

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for ANSI-compliant drill jigs and fixture plates requiring a PM-code press fit headless bushing with a 5.6-inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using a press or arbor press to seat the bushing flush with the jig plate surface. Power down all connected machinery before pressing the bushing into the fixture. Verify the receiving hole diameter and surface finish in the jig body meet ANSI tolerances prior to installation to avoid bushing damage or misalignment. This is a permanent non-renewable bushing and is not designed to be removed and reused once pressed into place.
