Boneham AM00000722 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000722 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining and fabrication operations. Manufactured from steel, this PM-series bushing installs directly into a jig plate without the use of a locking collar or head flange, keeping a low profile in tight fixture layouts. The inside diameter measures 8.8 inches, and the body outside diameter is approximately 0.591 inches (15.00 mm) with an overall length of approximately 0.984 inches (25.00 mm). Licensed machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabricators install this type of bushing in drill jigs to maintain hole location accuracy across repeated production runs.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig fixtures in industrial manufacturing, job shop, and precision machining environments. The headless PM designation follows standard bushing industry coding, making it a straightforward specification part for engineers and toolmakers sourcing replacements or building new fixtures. It is not a renewable-style bushing and is intended as a permanent or semi-permanent press-in installation within the jig body.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method - no locking ring or head flange required
• PM industry code designation for straightforward cross-referencing and specification
• 8.8-inch inside diameter for precise drill bit guidance

• Non-renewable design suited for permanent fixture installations
• UNSPSC Code: 31171603 for procurement and catalog alignment

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for standard drill jig fixtures requiring a press fit headless bushing with a PM industry code designation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by tool and die makers or machinist-trade professionals using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush within the jig plate bore. The jig plate bore must be machined to the correct interference-fit tolerance before pressing the bushing in place. Power down all associated machinery before performing any fixture maintenance or bushing replacement. Follow applicable shop safety and OSHA machine guarding standards during installation.
