Boneham AM00000713 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000713 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and cutting tools with precision in machining and fabrication applications. Classified under industry code PM, this bushing features an inside diameter of 8.6 inches and an overall length of 25.00 millimeters. Constructed from steel, it provides the hardness and wear resistance required for repetitive drilling operations in production environments. The headless design allows the bushing to sit flush within a drill jig plate without a protruding flange, making it well suited for setups where clearance is limited. This is a non-renewable bushing intended for fixed, permanent installation.

This bushing is used in drill jig assemblies found in metal fabrication shops, tool rooms, and manufacturing production lines. It is installed directly into a jig plate or fixture to maintain consistent hole location and alignment across multiple workpieces. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working in precision machining environments are the primary installers. The press fit retention method ensures a secure hold within a properly sized jig plate bore without the need for additional locking hardware.

Key Features

• Industry code PM headless press fit design for flush installation in drill jig plates
• Inside diameter of 8.6 inches for precise drill bit guidance
• Overall bushing length of 25.00 millimeters for consistent depth engagement
• Steel construction for high wear resistance and durability in production drilling
• Non-renewable configuration suitable for permanent fixture installations
• Lightweight at 0.5 pounds for easy handling and installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for press fit headless drill bushing applications requiring a PM industry code bushing with an 8.6 inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists using a press or arbor press to seat the bushing flush within a properly reamed jig plate bore. The receiving bore must be machined to the appropriate tolerance to achieve the correct press fit interference. Always verify bore diameter and surface finish before pressing the bushing in place to avoid damage to the bushing or the fixture. This bushing is not designed for removal or reuse once pressed into a permanent installation.
