Boneham AM00000606 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000606 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. Built to industry code PM, this bushing features a 5.75-inch inside diameter and is manufactured from steel for durability under repeated drilling operations. It installs without a head flange, making it suitable for flush-mount applications where clearance is limited. Machinists, toolmakers, and production technicians install this type of bushing in drill jigs to maintain accurate hole location and extend tool life. The compact body measures 10 millimeters in outside diameter and 10 millimeters in overall length, making it appropriate for tight fixture layouts.

This drill bushing is used in machine shop, manufacturing, and tooling environments where consistent hole placement is required across production runs. It is a non-renewable type, meaning it is pressed directly into the jig plate and not intended for frequent field replacement. Typical applications include drilling fixtures used in metalworking, fabrication, and precision assembly operations. The PM industry code designation identifies this as a standard press fit headless style per conventional drill bushing classification systems.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, permanent seating in drill jig plates
• Headless design allows flush mounting where flange clearance is unavailable
• 5.75-inch inside diameter to guide the appropriate drill or tool shank
• Steel construction provides hardness and wear resistance under repetitive drilling loads
• PM industry code classification for standard catalog interchangeability
• Non-renewable style intended for fixed, long-term installation

Compatibility

Designed as a standard PM-code press fit headless drill bushing for use in steel drill jig plates and tooling fixtures requiring permanent bushing installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using a drill press or arbor press to seat the bushing flush into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole in the fixture must be reamed to the correct interference fit tolerance before pressing the bushing in place. Do not hammer the bushing in directly without a proper driver or pressing tool, as this can damage the bushing bore or distort the outer diameter. Once pressed in, this bushing is not designed for removal and reuse.
