Boneham AM00000734 Press Fit Drill Bushing Pm 9.2 in

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000734 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured to industry code PM. It is designed to guide drill bits with precision during machining operations, maintaining accurate hole location and reducing bit wander. The bushing is made from steel and features a 9.2-inch inside diameter, a body outside diameter of approximately 0.591 inches (15.00 mm), and an overall length of approximately 0.472 inches (12.00 mm). This type of bushing is pressed directly into a jig plate and sits flush with the surface, making it well suited for applications where tooling clearance above the work surface is limited. Machinists and toolmakers install this component as part of drill jig assemblies in production and maintenance environments.

This bushing is used in drill jig applications across manufacturing, fabrication, and maintenance shops. Its headless profile makes it appropriate for installations where a protruding flange would interfere with workpiece clamping or tool travel. It is suited for use in both light-production and general-purpose drilling setups where a renewable bushing is not required and a permanent press fit installation is preferred. The PM industry code designation identifies the bushing geometry and allows cross-referencing with standard tooling catalogs.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, stable positioning in jig plates
• Headless design eliminates flange interference in close-clearance setups
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling operations
• PM industry code designation for straightforward catalog cross-referencing
• 9.2-inch inside diameter to guide the appropriate drill or tool shank
• Non-renewable design suited for fixed, long-run jig configurations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for drill jig assemblies requiring a PM-code press fit headless bushing with a 9.2-inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or toolmaker using an arbor press to seat the bushing flush into a prepared jig plate bore. The receiving bore should be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before pressing to avoid bushing damage or misalignment. Do not use impact tools to drive the bushing into the bore. Verify inside diameter clearance with the intended drill or tool before finalizing the jig assembly.
