Boneham AM00000739 Press Fit Drill Bushing 9.3 in Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000739 is a press fit headless drill bushing manufactured from steel and designated under industry code PM. It is designed to be permanently pressed into a drill jig or fixture plate to guide drill bits with precision, maintaining accurate hole location across repeated operations. With an inside diameter of 9.3 inches and an overall bushing length of 25.00 millimeters, this bushing is suited for high-volume drilling applications where a fixed, non-renewable bushing is acceptable. It is installed by machinists, tool and die makers, and production floor technicians working with jig boring and drill fixture setups.

This press fit headless drill bushing is used in industrial manufacturing environments where consistent hole placement is critical. The headless profile allows it to sit flush within the jig plate, minimizing interference with workpiece loading and unloading. The PM industry code designation identifies it within the standard headless press fit bushing classification, making it straightforward to cross-reference with standard tooling catalogs. It is appropriate for both light and medium-duty drilling operations on a range of workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, fixed positioning in drill jig plates
• Headless design sits flush with jig plate surface to reduce workpiece clearance issues
• Steel construction for durability under repeated drilling cycles
• Inside diameter of 9.3 inches for precise drill bit guidance
• Industry code PM for straightforward catalog cross-referencing
• Non-renewable design suitable for dedicated, long-run tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as a standard PM-class press fit headless drill bushing for use in drill jigs and fixture plates requiring a permanently installed bushing with a 9.3 inch inside diameter.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush and square in a precision-bored jig plate hole. The jig plate bore should be machined to the appropriate interference fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended to be removed or replaced. Always verify jig plate material and bore tolerance specifications before pressing the bushing into place.
