Boneham AM00000864 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000864 is a slip-fixed drill bushing conforming to the SFM industry standard. It provides a precise, renewable guide for drill bits and other cutting tools during repetitive machining and fabrication operations. The bushing features a 2.55 mm inside diameter to closely guide the cutting tool, an 8 mm body outside diameter for a secure fit within the drill jig, and a 16 mm length under the head that delivers adequate tool guidance depth. It is designed for use in tooling jigs and fixtures where the bushing must be removable and replaceable without disturbing the rest of the assembly. Machinists and toolmakers install this type of component as a standard element of precision jig setups.

This slip-fixed bushing is suited for jig and fixture applications in manufacturing environments where positional accuracy is critical. The SFM configuration allows the bushing to be locked in place during the drilling operation and then removed for tool changes or bushing replacement, making it appropriate for multi-operation setups. It is a fit for both small-batch and production machining scenarios in metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and tool rooms.

Key Features

• SFM slip-fixed bushing design allows secure locking during use and quick removal between operations
• 2.55 mm inside diameter provides close tool guidance for accurate hole location
• 8 mm body outside diameter fits standard jig plate bores
• 16 mm length under head delivers consistent tool support through the jig plate
• Renewable bushing construction supports replacement without retooling the fixture

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard-fit component for drill jigs and fixtures requiring an SFM-series slip-fixed bushing with a 2.55 mm inside diameter and 8 mm body outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinist-level trades familiar with jig and fixture assembly. The bushing is pressed or slipped into the liner bushing already seated in the jig plate and secured via its locking mechanism before drilling begins. Always verify the inside diameter clears the intended tool shank with the appropriate tolerance before committing the bushing to production use. Remove all cutting tools and de-energize the machine before servicing or swapping bushings in the fixture.
