Boneham AM00000736 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000736 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining and fabrication operations. Manufactured from steel, this bushing carries the PM industry code, identifying it as a headless press fit type within standard tooling classifications. The inside diameter measures 9.2 inches, and the body outside diameter is approximately 0.591 inches (15.00 mm), with an overall bushing length of approximately 0.984 inches (25.00 mm). This bushing is not renewable and is intended as a permanent installation component. It suits tooling plates, jig fixtures, and production drilling setups where consistent hole location accuracy is required.

This bushing is used in jig and fixture applications across manufacturing, metalworking, and machine shop environments. It is pressed directly into a prepared bore in the jig plate, eliminating the need for a liner bushing. Typical users include machinists, tool and die makers, and manufacturing engineers working with drill jigs on production runs or precision one-off assemblies. The steel construction provides durability in repetitive drilling cycles under normal shop conditions.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, secure seating in jig plate bores
• PM industry code classification - headless press fit type per standard drill bushing nomenclature
• 9.2-inch inside diameter for drill bit guidance
• Steel construction for durability in production drilling environments
• Non-renewable design suited to fixed, long-term fixture setups
• Compact form factor: 15.00 mm body outside diameter, 25.00 mm overall length

Compatibility

Designed as a standard PM-type press fit headless drill bushing for use in machined jig plates and fixture bodies where a permanent, non-renewable bushing is required.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by pressing the bushing into a precisely reamed bore in the jig plate using an arbor press or similar pressing equipment. The bore in the jig plate must be machined to the appropriate tolerance to achieve the correct interference fit. Power down all associated machinery before working on fixture assemblies. Do not attempt to drive the bushing in with impact tools, as this can damage the bushing or distort the bore.
