Boneham AM00000757 Press Fit Headless Drill Bushing Pm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000757 is a press fit headless drill bushing conforming to industry code PM. It is manufactured from steel and designed to be permanently pressed into a jig plate or fixture to guide drill bits with precision during machining operations. With an inside diameter of 9.8 inches, an outside diameter of 15.00 mm, and an overall length of 25.00 mm, this bushing provides a fixed, non-renewable guide point for high-volume or dedicated drilling applications. Machinists and tooling specialists rely on headless press fit bushings when a flush or recessed profile is required at the jig surface.

This bushing is suited for use in drill jigs and fixture tooling across industrial manufacturing, metal fabrication, and precision machining environments. The headless design seats flush with the jig plate surface, making it appropriate for applications where clearance above the plate is limited or where a smooth upper face is required. It is a non-renewable bushing, meaning it is intended for permanent installation rather than field replacement during production runs.

Key Features

• Press fit installation method for permanent, rigid seating in jig plates
• Headless design provides a flush or below-surface profile
• PM industry code designation for standardized replacement and sourcing
• Steel construction for durability in repetitive drilling operations
• Non-renewable configuration suited to dedicated, fixed tooling setups

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation press fit headless drill bushing conforming to PM industry code standards for use in compatible drill jig and fixture tooling applications.

Installation Notes

Press fit bushings are typically installed by tooling engineers or machinists using an arbor press or hydraulic press to seat the bushing squarely into a prepared hole in the jig plate. The receiving hole must be machined to the correct tolerance for a press fit to ensure the bushing does not shift during use. Ensure all machinery is powered down and fixtures are secured before pressing or removing bushings. Do not drive bushings with impact tools, as this can distort the bore or damage the jig plate.
