Boneham AM00000724 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000724 is a press fit headless drill bushing conforming to the PM industry code standard. It is manufactured from steel and is designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining operations. The bushing features an inside diameter of 8.9 inches, a body outside diameter of 15.00 mm, and an overall length of 20.00 mm. It installs without a head flange, making it suitable for flush or sub-surface installations in jig plates. This part is typically installed and serviced by machinists, tool and die makers, and precision fabrication professionals working with drill jigs and fixtures.

This bushing is intended for use in drill jig applications where consistent hole location and tool guidance are required. It fits into a prepared bore in a jig plate and is secured by press fit interference, eliminating the need for additional fasteners. The headless design is well suited for applications where a flush surface is required or where clearance above the jig plate is limited. It is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is pressed in permanently and is not designed for routine removal and replacement during normal tooling operations.

Key Features

• PM industry code designation for standardized fit and interchangeability
• Press fit installation method provides secure, permanent retention in jig plate bores
• Headless design allows flush or below-surface installation
• Steel construction for durability and wear resistance in drilling applications
• Non-renewable design suited for fixed, permanent jig setups
• Inside diameter of 8.9 inches for consistent tool guidance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for use in steel jig plates and fixture assemblies requiring a PM-code press fit headless bushing with an 8.9-inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool and die professionals using a press or arbor press to seat the bushing into a properly sized and toleranced bore in the jig plate. Verify bore diameter and surface finish meet the PM press fit specification before installation. Once pressed in, the bushing is not intended for removal without potential damage to the surrounding material. Always follow applicable shop safety procedures and equipment manufacturer guidelines when pressing bushings into fixture components.
