Boneham AM00000983 Slip-fixed Drill Bushing Sfm

Product Description

The BONEHAM AM00000983 is a slip-fixed drill bushing conforming to the SFM industry standard. It features a 5.8 mm inside diameter, a 10 mm body outside diameter, and a 20 mm length under the head. Slip-fixed bushings are designed to be pressed into a liner bushing and locked in place during drilling operations, preventing rotation under cutting forces. This bushing is renewable, meaning it can be removed and replaced without disturbing the jig plate or liner. It weighs approximately 0.25 pounds and is suited for precision tooling applications in metalworking and machining environments.

This bushing is used in drill jig assemblies where accurate hole location and repeatability are required. The SFM-style slip-fixed configuration is common in production drilling setups where multiple operations are performed at the same jig station and bushings must be swapped between operations. Typical installers include tool and die makers, machinists, and fixture builders working in light to heavy manufacturing environments.

Key Features

• SFM industry code slip-fixed design locks into liner bushing to resist rotation during drilling
• Renewable construction allows bushing replacement without reworking the jig plate
• 5.8 mm inside diameter provides precise drill guidance for consistent hole location
• 10 mm body outside diameter for standard liner bushing compatibility
• 20 mm length under head accommodates workpiece clearance and chip relief requirements

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation SFM slip-fixed drill bushing for use with standard SFM-series liner bushings in drill jig assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or tool and die makers using standard jig bushing press tools. The bushing is inserted into a compatible liner bushing and rotated to engage the locking mechanism before drilling begins. Always verify the liner bushing inside diameter matches the body outside diameter of this bushing before installation. Remove all cutting forces and secure the workpiece before changing or inspecting bushings during production runs.
