Boneham AM00000609 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000609 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured from steel and designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations. Carrying the PM industry code, this bushing is pressed directly into a jig plate without a head flange, creating a flush, clean installation surface. The inside diameter measures 5.7 inches, the body outside diameter measures approximately 0.394 inches (10.00 mm), and the overall bushing length is approximately 0.394 inches (10.00 mm). It weighs 0.25 pounds. Machinists, tool-and-die makers, and fabricators use this component to maintain accurate hole location and consistent drill guidance across repeated production runs.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs and fixture plates where a permanent, headless installation is required. The press fit design means no locking collar or retaining head is needed, making it appropriate for applications where a low-profile or flush mounting surface is critical. It is intended for use in metal fabrication shops, machine shops, and industrial production environments where repeatable hole accuracy is essential. The steel construction provides durability under standard drilling loads and jig service conditions.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method eliminates need for retaining head or locking collar
• PM industry bushing code for headless press fit style
• 5.7 inch inside diameter for drill bit guidance
• Steel construction for durability in jig and fixture applications
• Flush, low-profile installation surface when seated in jig plate
• Non-renewable design — intended as a permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing conforming to PM industry code standards for use in standard drill jig and fixture plate applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool-and-die makers using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush into a properly toleranced jig plate bore. Ensure the receiving bore is machined to the correct interference fit tolerance before pressing the bushing in place. The bushing is non-renewable — removal after installation is not intended and may damage the jig plate. Always de-energize and lock out any associated machinery before performing jig maintenance or bushing replacement.
