Dumont Minute Man 44431 Collared Broach Bushing 8mm

Product Description

The DUMONT MINUTE MAN 44431 is a Style A collared broach bushing designed to guide and support broaching tools during precision hole-finishing operations. The collared design seats securely in a fixture or press plate, keeping the broach aligned and preventing lateral movement during the cutting stroke. At 8mm overall diameter, this plain bushing suits tight-tolerance work in metal fabrication, toolroom, and maintenance environments. Installation is straightforward and the lightweight construction at 0.06 pounds keeps handling simple on the bench or at the machine.

This bushing is used in broaching setups where accurate hole location and tool guidance are required. Typical applications include keyway cutting, spline forming, and non-circular hole finishing in production or repair settings. It is suited for use in machine shops, tool and die operations, and industrial maintenance shops where broaching fixtures demand consistent, repeatable alignment. The Style A profile is a widely recognized plain collared configuration compatible with standard broaching press setups.

Power down and de-energize any associated press or broaching machine before servicing fixtures or replacing bushings. Follow applicable shop safety procedures and fixture manufacturer guidelines during installation.
