Boneham AM00000974 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000974 is a slip-fixed drill bushing conforming to the SFM industry standard. It features an inside diameter of 5.6 mm (0.220 inches), a body outside diameter of 10 mm (0.394 inches), and a length under head of 20 mm (0.787 inches). Slip-fixed bushings seat into a liner bushing and are locked in place during the drilling operation, preventing rotation while allowing tool changes without disturbing the jig plate. This bushing is renewable, meaning it can be removed and replaced independently of the liner bushing when worn, reducing fixture maintenance cost and downtime.

This bushing is used in drill jig fixtures for precision hole location in metalworking, fabrication, and machining applications. It is suited for production environments where the same hole must be drilled repeatedly to consistent tolerances. The SFM designation indicates a slip-fixed design with a head, making it compatible with standard liner bushings used in tooling plates across light and heavy manufacturing settings. Installation is performed by tooling specialists, machinists, and fixture builders.

Key Features

• Slip-fixed installation method locks bushing in place during drilling operations
• SFM industry standard designation ensures compatibility with standard liner bushings
• 5.6 mm (0.220 inch) inside diameter for precise drill guidance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct tooling component for drill jig fixtures requiring SFM slip-fixed bushings with a 10 mm body outside diameter and standard liner bushing seating.

Installation Notes

Slip-fixed bushings are installed and removed by tooling professionals and machinists using appropriate pressing or hand tools. Ensure the mating liner bushing bore is clean and free of debris before seating. The locking mechanism must be fully engaged before beginning any drilling operation to prevent rotation. Always verify inside diameter clearance against the drill or tool shank before installation.
