Boneham AM00000733 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000733 is a press fit headless drill bushing built to industry code PM. It is manufactured from steel and seats directly into a drill jig plate without a head flange, keeping the bushing flush with the plate surface. The inside diameter measures 9.25 inches, allowing it to guide a matching drill bit or boring tool with consistent accuracy. The body outside diameter is 15.00 millimeters and the overall bushing length is 25.00 millimeters. This bushing is a non-renewable type, meaning it is pressed in permanently and replaced as a unit rather than swapped out with a liner. Machinists and tool-and-die professionals install this component in production drilling fixtures to maintain hole location repeatability across high-volume runs.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig fixtures where precise hole location is required on machined workpieces. The headless press fit design is appropriate in applications where the bushing must sit flush to avoid interference with the workpiece surface or a secondary bushing plate. It is a standard PM-coded bushing, making it compatible with tooling layouts that reference that industry designation. Typical installation environments include machine shops, production lines, and fabrication operations where repeatable drilling accuracy is critical.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method seats bushing permanently into jig plate without fasteners
• Headless design provides a flush, low-profile fit that will not interfere with workpiece contact
• Steel construction provides durability under repeated drill guide contact and chip abrasion
• Inside diameter of 9.25 inches ensures consistent drill bit or tool guidance
• Body outside diameter of 15.00 millimeters and overall length of 25.00 millimeters for standardized jig plate compatibility
• Non-renewable construction simplifies jig maintenance when full bushing replacement is the preferred workflow

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-build component for drill jig fixtures requiring a PM-coded press fit headless drill bushing with a 9.25-inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

A licensed machinist or tooling technician should install this bushing using an appropriate arbor press to achieve an interference fit without damaging the bore or the bushing wall. The jig plate hole should be inspected and confirmed to the correct tolerance before pressing. Do not use a hammer directly on the bushing face, as this can distort the bore and compromise drill guidance accuracy. Follow applicable shop standards and fixture design specifications for press fit tolerances and hole finish requirements.
