Boneham AM00000716 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000716 is a press fit headless drill bushing in the PM industry code series, manufactured from steel for use in precision drilling and jig applications. With an inside diameter of 8.75 inches, a body outside diameter of 15.00 mm, and an overall bushing length of 25.00 mm, this bushing provides accurate drill guidance and consistent hole location in machining fixtures. It is installed without a head flange, allowing it to sit flush within the jig plate. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working in metal fabrication and production environments will find this bushing suited for high-repetition drilling operations where hole-to-hole accuracy is critical.

This bushing is used in drilling jigs and tooling fixtures across industrial machining environments, including job shops, production facilities, and tool-and-die operations. The PM code designates it as a headless press fit type, meaning it is permanently pressed into a prepared reamed hole in the jig body. It is appropriate for ferrous and non-ferrous workpiece applications where consistent drill guidance is required across multiple parts or setups.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, rigid seating in jig plates
• PM industry code designation - headless style for flush-mount applications
• Inside diameter of 8.75 inches for precise drill or reamer guidance
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive production drilling
• Non-renewable design - intended as a permanent fixture component
• Compact form factor with 15.00 mm body outside diameter and 25.00 mm overall length

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press fit headless drill bushing for standard drilling jigs and tooling fixtures requiring a PM-series headless bushing.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a toolmaker or machinist using a press or arbor press to seat the bushing into a precision-reamed hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole must be sized to the correct interference fit tolerance per the bushing outside diameter before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal or replacement. Always confirm the jig plate is secured and the press is properly aligned before applying force to avoid bushing damage or misalignment.
