Boneham AM00000966 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000966 is a slip-fixed drill bushing conforming to the SFM industry standard. It features a 5.3 mm inside diameter, a 10 mm body outside diameter, and a 25 mm length under the head. This bushing is designed to guide cutting tools such as drills, reamers, and counterbores with precision during machining operations. It seats into a liner bushing installed in a jig plate, allowing the bushing to be removed and replaced without disturbing the liner. The renewable design reduces tooling costs in production environments where bushings must be changed frequently due to wear.

Slip-fixed bushings in the SFM configuration are used in drill jig applications across general manufacturing, aerospace fabrication, and precision machining shops. They are suited for moderate-volume production runs where a fixed bushing is preferred over a slip-renewable style but changeover between operations is still required. The SFM designation indicates a slip-fit installation with a fixed retention feature, making it appropriate for jig setups where the bushing must remain stationary during the drilling cycle.

Key Features

• SFM industry code slip-fixed installation method for secure, removable seating in liner bushings
• 5.3 mm inside diameter for precise tool guidance during drilling or reaming
• 10 mm body outside diameter for standard liner compatibility
• 25 mm length under head provides adequate tool guidance depth for typical jig plate thicknesses
• Renewable bushing design supports replacement without disturbing the jig setup

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit component for drill jig assemblies requiring SFM-standard slip-fixed bushings with a 5.3 mm ID and 10 mm body OD.

Installation Notes

Slip-fixed bushings are installed and serviced by tool and die makers or machining setup personnel. Before replacing a bushing, secure the jig plate and ensure all cutting equipment is powered down and locked out. The bushing should be pressed or seated into the liner bushing using appropriate tooling to avoid damaging the bore or the seating surface. Do not force a misaligned bushing, as deformation of the ID will compromise tool guidance accuracy.
