Boneham AM00000968 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000968 is a slip-fixed drill bushing conforming to the SFM industry standard. It is designed to guide cutting tools such as drills, reamers, and counterbores through jig plates with precise, repeatable positioning. The bushing features an inside diameter of 5.4 mm, a body outside diameter of 10 mm, and a length under head of 20 mm. As a renewable bushing, it can be removed and replaced without disturbing the liner bushing pressed into the jig plate, making it well suited for multi-operation tooling setups. Machinists and toolroom professionals install this component in production and prototype drilling jigs.

This slip-fixed bushing is used in metal fabrication and machining environments where a jig plate guides drilling operations across multiple workpieces. The SFM designation identifies it as a slip-type bushing with a fixed locking collar, appropriate for operations where the bushing must be locked in place during the cut and removed between operations. It is a standard catalog item for tooling departments managing high-volume or precision hole-location work on ferrous and non-ferrous materials.

Key Features

• SFM industry code slip-fixed design locks bushing during cutting operations
• Renewable construction allows removal and replacement without disturbing the press-fit liner
• Inside diameter of 5.4 mm for precise tool guidance
• Body outside diameter of 10 mm for seating in standard liner bushings
• Length under head of 20 mm provides adequate tool guidance through typical jig plate thicknesses
• UNSPSC Code 31171603 for procurement and catalog classification

Compatibility

Designed as a renewable slip-fixed replacement bushing for use with standard SFM-type liner bushings in drilling jigs and fixtures. Specific compatible liner bushing models were not provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by toolmakers or machinists during jig assembly or bushing replacement. The slip-fixed bushing is inserted into a pressed liner bushing in the jig plate and locked in position before drilling begins. Ensure the jig plate and liner bushing bore are clean and free of chips or burrs before seating the bushing. Remove the bushing by rotating to the unlock position before indexing or changing operations to avoid damage to the bushing or liner.
