Boneham AM00000961 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000961 is a slip-fixed drill bushing manufactured to the SFM industry standard. It features a 5.2 mm inside diameter, a 10 mm body outside diameter, and a 12 mm length under the head. Slip-fixed bushings are pressed into a liner bushing and locked in position during the drilling operation, then removed for tool changes. This design allows a single liner to support multiple renewable bushings, reducing wear on the jig plate itself. Machinists and toolmakers install this bushing in drill jigs and fixture plates across production and prototype machining environments.

This bushing is suited for drill jig applications where repeatable hole location is required across multiple workpieces. The SFM designation identifies it within the standardized slip-fixed bushing series, making it interchangeable with other tooling built to the same code. It is a renewable bushing, meaning it can be replaced independently without disturbing the liner bushing already seated in the jig plate. Typical applications include production drilling, reaming, and similar guided-tool operations in metal fabrication and precision machining shops.

Key Features

• SFM industry code slip-fixed installation method for use with a mating liner bushing
• 5.2 mm inside diameter for guided tooling clearance
• 10 mm body outside diameter for liner seating
• 12 mm length under head provides axial tool guidance depth
• Renewable design allows bushing replacement without liner removal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style renewable replacement bushing for drill jigs and fixture plates that accept SFM-series slip-fixed liner bushings with a 10 mm body bore.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or toolmakers using standard jig-assembly procedures. The mating liner bushing must already be seated and secured in the jig plate before the slip-fixed bushing is inserted and locked. Remove all tooling and ensure the jig fixture is stationary before replacing or swapping renewable bushings. Follow applicable shop-floor and OSHA machine-guarding guidelines during fixture setup.
