Boneham AM00000748 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000748 is a press fit headless drill bushing in the PM industry code series, designed to guide drill bits and boring tools with precision in jig and fixture applications. Machined from steel, this bushing features a 9.6 inch inside diameter to accommodate larger-diameter tooling. It installs without a head flange, seating flush within a drill plate or jig body. With a body outside diameter of approximately 15.00 millimeters and an overall length of approximately 25.00 millimeters, it provides stable tool guidance while maintaining a low-profile installation footprint. Machinists, toolmakers, and production fixture builders specify this type of bushing for repeated-hole drilling operations that demand consistent positional accuracy.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs and production fixtures across metalworking and fabrication environments. The press fit installation method secures the bushing directly into a reamed hole in a jig plate without additional fastening hardware. It is not a renewable-style bushing, making it appropriate for permanent or semi-permanent fixture assemblies where the bushing position is fixed for the life of the tooling. Typical applications include high-volume drilling operations where hole location repeatability is critical.

Key Features

• PM industry code series headless drill bushing for standard jig and fixture tooling systems
• 9.6 inch inside diameter accommodates large-diameter drill and boring tools
• Press fit installation method for secure, hardware-free seating in reamed jig plate holes
• Steel construction provides durability and wear resistance under repeated drilling cycles
• Non-renewable design suited for permanent fixture assemblies
• Low-profile headless body seats flush with jig plate surface

Compatibility

Designed as a PM-series OEM-style press fit headless drill bushing for use in standard drill jig plates and fixture bodies requiring a permanent, flush-mount bushing installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or fixture builders using a press or arbor press to drive the bushing into a precision-reamed hole sized for an interference fit. Ensure the jig plate hole is reamed to the correct tolerance for a press fit before installation. The bushing should be pressed in squarely to avoid cocking or distortion. Because this is a non-renewable bushing, removal after installation may damage the bushing or the jig plate bore.
