Boneham AM00000731 Drill Bushing Pm 9.25mm Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000731 is a press fit headless drill bushing in the PM industry code series, designed to guide drill bits with precision in jig and fixture applications. Manufactured from steel with a hardness rating of 60 to 65 HRC, this bushing resists wear during repeated drilling cycles. It features a 9.25 mm inside diameter and a 15.00 mm body outside diameter, fitting a standard 12.00 mm overall length. The press fit installation method holds the bushing securely in the jig plate without the need for a locking collar or retaining hardware. Machinists and toolmakers install this type of bushing in production drilling setups.

This drill bushing is suited for metalworking and manufacturing environments where consistent hole location is required across multiple workpieces. The PM headless design keeps the profile flush or below the jig plate surface, making it appropriate for applications with limited clearance above the workpiece. It is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is pressed permanently into the jig body and is not intended for routine field replacement without press equipment.

Key Features

• Press fit installation - no retaining collar required
• PM industry code headless design for flush or sub-flush mounting
• Steel construction hardened to 60 to 65 HRC for extended wear life
• 9.25 mm inside diameter with a tight inside diameter tolerance of +0.005 to +0.014 mm
• Meets ANSI standards
• Non-renewable, permanent-press configuration

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation drill bushing for standard jig plates and drill fixtures requiring a PM series press fit headless bushing with a 9.25 mm inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a hydraulic or arbor press to seat the bushing flush and square in the jig plate bore; do not hammer the bushing in by hand, as this risks damaging the outer diameter or misaligning the bushing. Verify the jig plate bore diameter matches the bushing outside diameter tolerance before pressing. A qualified machinist or toolmaker should perform installation and confirm seating depth before use in production.
