Boneham AM00000783 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000783 is a slip-fixed drill bushing manufactured to SFM industry standards. It is designed to guide cutting tools — such as drills, reamers, and counterbores — precisely through jig plates and fixtures during machining operations. The bushing slips into a liner bushing during use and locks in place, allowing quick tool changes without disturbing the fixture setup. Key dimensions are an inside diameter of 11.2 mm, a body outside diameter of 18 mm, and a length under head of 28 mm. Machinists, toolmakers, and fixture builders working in production or job-shop environments install this component as part of drill jig assemblies.

This bushing fits into slip-fixed liner bushing assemblies used in drill jig fixtures for metalworking, fabrication, and production machining operations. The SFM designation follows standard jig bushing industry coding, making it straightforward to cross-reference with other SFM-coded bushings of matching dimensions. It is suited for applications requiring repeatable hole location accuracy across high cycle counts. The renewable design means the bushing can be replaced independently of the liner, reducing fixture maintenance cost and downtime.

Key Features

• SFM slip-fixed installation method for fast, tool-free changes during production runs
• Renewable bushing design — replaceable without removing the liner bushing from the jig plate
• Inside diameter of 11.2 mm for precision tool guidance
• Body outside diameter of 18 mm with 28 mm length under head for positive seating in standard liners
• Conforms to SFM jig bushing industry coding for straightforward specification and sourcing

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard slip-fixed liner bushings matching the 18 mm body outside diameter. Consult jig bushing industry cross-reference tables for liner bushing compatibility by body OD and installation type.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists as part of drill jig fixture assembly or maintenance. The jig plate and any associated fixturing should be secured and the machining center powered down before replacing bushings. No press-fit force is required for slip-fixed bushings; the bushing drops into the liner and is locked by rotating to engage the locking mechanism. Verify the liner bushing bore and body OD dimensions match before installation to ensure proper fit and tool guidance accuracy.
