Boneham AM00000706 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000706 is a press fit headless drill bushing in the PM industry code series, manufactured from steel. It is designed to guide drill bits, reamers, and other cutting tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. The bushing is installed without a head flange, allowing it to sit flush within the jig plate. With an inside diameter of 8.4 inches and a body outside diameter of 15.00 millimeters, this bushing is suited for operations that demand consistent hole location and accurate tool guidance. Machinists and toolmakers install this component as part of drill jig assemblies in production and job-shop environments.

This drill bushing is used in metal fabrication, tooling, and machining applications where repeatable hole positioning is critical. It is a non-renewable type, meaning it is pressed directly and permanently into the jig plate bore. Typical applications include production drilling, reaming, and boring operations on metal workpieces in both manual and CNC-assisted fixture setups. The PM designation identifies it within the standard headless press fit bushing classification used across the tooling industry.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, rigid seating in jig plates
• Headless design allows flush mounting within the fixture body
• Steel construction for durability in high-cycle drilling operations
• PM industry code classification for standard headless press fit bushings
• Non-renewable type - intended for permanent installation
• Inside diameter of 8.4 inches for precise tool guidance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct fitment for standard PM-series headless press fit drill jig applications requiring an 8.4-inch inside diameter steel bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation of press fit drill bushings is typically performed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush and square within the jig plate bore. Ensure the mating bore in the jig plate is machined to the correct tolerance before pressing to avoid bushing distortion or improper fit. Do not use a hammer directly on the bushing face, as this can damage the bore geometry. Follow applicable shop standards and fixture design guidelines for bushing retention and replacement intervals.
