Boneham AM00000959 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000959 is a slip-fixed drill bushing conforming to the SFM industry code standard. It features a 5.25 mm inside diameter, a 10 mm body outside diameter, and a 20 mm length under the head. This bushing installs into a jig plate or fixture body using the slip-fixed installation method, which allows the bushing to be seated and removed without pressing. It is classified as a renewable bushing, meaning it can be replaced without replacing the liner or fixture. Machinists, tool and die makers, and fixture builders use this type of component to guide drill bits, reamers, and other cutting tools with precision in production and prototype machining operations.

Slip-fixed bushings in the SFM configuration are suited for applications where tooling changes are frequent and consistent hole location accuracy is required across multiple production runs. The SFM designation identifies the head style and body dimensions per industry standards, making this bushing a direct fit into compatible liner bushings already installed in drill jigs and fixtures. Both job shop and production floor environments use components of this type where guided tooling is required.

Key Features

• Slip-fixed installation method allows tool-free removal and replacement without disturbing the fixture
• Renewable bushing design supports repeated replacement cycles in high-production jig setups
• 5.25 mm inside diameter for precise drill or reamer guidance
• 10 mm body outside diameter for use with compatible SFM-size liner bushings
• 20 mm length under head provides adequate tool guidance depth for typical jig plate thicknesses
• SFM industry code ensures dimensional conformance to standard bushing specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for drill jigs and fixtures that accept SFM-series slip-fixed renewable bushings with a 10 mm body outside diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation and removal of slip-fixed bushings is performed by machinists or tooling specialists using standard jig bushing tools. Before servicing or replacing bushings in an active fixture, ensure the machine is powered down and all cutting tools are clear of the jig. Verify that the liner bushing inside diameter and lock slot orientation are compatible before seating the bushing. Do not force the bushing into a misaligned liner, as this can damage both components.
