Boneham AM00000746 Drill Bushing Pm 9.6 Inch Id

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000746 is a press fit headless drill bushing designed to guide drill bits and other cutting tools with precision during machining operations. Built to the PM industry code standard, this bushing features a 9.6-inch inside diameter and a steel construction that resists wear under repeated tooling cycles. It installs without a head flange, seating flush with the jig plate surface for applications where a low-profile fit is required. Machinists and tool-and-die technicians install this bushing in drill jigs and fixture plates where repeatable hole location accuracy is critical. The unit weighs 0.5 pounds.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jig fixtures across general metalworking, manufacturing, and tooling applications. The PM bushing code indicates it conforms to recognized industry dimensional standards, making it a direct-fit option in jig plates machined to those specifications. It is a non-renewable (fixed) bushing, meaning it is pressed permanently into the jig plate and is not designed for routine field removal and replacement. Typical users include tool and die makers, machining centers, and production shops requiring consistent drill guidance on steel or similar workpiece materials.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for secure, permanent seating in jig plate bores
• PM industry code compliance for standardized dimensional interchangeability
• 9.6-inch inside diameter for precise tool guidance
• Steel construction for durability and wear resistance under repeated drilling cycles
• Headless (flush) design eliminates flange interference in low-clearance fixture setups
• Non-renewable fixed design maintains consistent positioning across production runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press fit headless drill bushing for drill jig fixtures conforming to PM industry code dimensional standards.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are installed by tool and die professionals using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing flush into a precision-bored jig plate hole. Ensure the jig plate bore is machined to the correct press fit tolerance before installation. Once pressed in, this bushing is not intended for removal without risk of damage to the fixture plate. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and de-energize any associated machinery before performing fixture maintenance.
