Boneham AM00000981 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000981 is a slip-fixed drill bushing conforming to the SFM industry code standard. It features an inside diameter of 5.7 mm, a body outside diameter of 10 mm, and a length under head of 25 mm. This bushing is designed to guide cutting tools such as drills, reamers, and counterbores through a jig plate with precision alignment. It installs by slipping into a liner bushing already pressed into the jig body, making it a renewable component that can be swapped out for different tool sizes or replaced after wear without disturbing the liner. Machinists and tooling technicians are the primary installers.

Slip-fixed bushings in the SFM series are used in production drilling jigs and fixture plates where tool guidance accuracy is critical. They are appropriate for both light and moderate production runs in metalworking, fabrication, and machining environments. The renewable design allows the bushing to be changed between operations on the same jig setup, reducing tooling downtime and maintaining hole-location repeatability across a run of parts.

Key Features

• SFM industry code slip-fixed design seats in a standard liner bushing and locks in place during operation
• Inside diameter of 5.7 mm guides compatible drill or reamer shanks
• Body outside diameter of 10 mm for precise fit within the liner bushing bore
• 25 mm length under head provides adequate tool guidance depth for typical jig plate thicknesses
• Renewable construction allows bushing replacement without removing the liner from the jig plate

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use slip-fixed drill bushing for standard SFM-series liner bushings in production drilling jigs and fixture plates.

Installation Notes

Slip-fixed bushings are installed and removed by hand or with a bushing wrench into a mating liner bushing already seated in the jig plate. Ensure the jig plate and workpiece are properly clamped and all cutting equipment is powered down before changing bushings. Inspect the liner bushing bore for wear or damage prior to installation to maintain alignment accuracy. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and tooling fixture standards when setting up drilling jigs.
