Boneham AM00000732 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000732 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured to industry code PM. Made from steel, this bushing is pressed directly into a jig plate without a head flange, providing a flush, low-profile seating surface. It accepts a tool with an inside diameter of 9.25 inches and features a body outside diameter of 15.00 millimeters and an overall length of 20.00 millimeters. It is a non-renewable design, meaning it is intended for permanent installation in the drill jig rather than routine field replacement. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders install this type of bushing when a fixed, precision-guided drill path is required for repeatable hole location across production runs.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs and fixture plates in manufacturing and machining environments. The headless press fit design is common in applications where the top face of the jig plate must remain flat and unobstructed. Typical installations include production drilling fixtures in metalworking shops, toolrooms, and light industrial assembly operations. The PM industry code designates its dimensional conformance to standard bushing classification used across the tooling industry.

Key Features

• Inside diameter of 9.25 inches for precise tool guidance
• Body outside diameter of 15.00 millimeters
• Overall bushing length of 20.00 millimeters
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling applications
• Non-renewable: designed for fixed permanent installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing conforming to PM industry code dimensions, suitable for standard drill jig and fixture plate applications requiring a permanent, flush-mount bushing.

Installation Notes

Press fit drill bushings are typically installed by toolmakers or machinists using an arbor press to drive the bushing flush into a precision-reamed jig plate bore. The bore in the plate must be machined to the correct interference fit tolerance for the bushing outside diameter before installation. Once pressed in, this non-renewable bushing is not designed for removal without risk of damage to the plate. Ensure the bore is clean and free of burrs before pressing to maintain concentricity and seating integrity.
