Dumont Minute Man 44446 Collared Broach Bushing 32mm

Product Description

The DUMONT MINUTE MAN 44446 is a Style C collared broach bushing designed to guide and support broaching tools during precision machining operations. The collared design keeps the bushing securely seated in the fixture or press plate, preventing movement during the broaching stroke. With an overall diameter of 32mm, this plain bushing is built for use in dedicated broaching fixtures where consistent tool alignment is critical. Machinists and toolroom technicians rely on this type of component to maintain repeatable accuracy across production runs.

This bushing is used in metalworking and machining environments where broaching is performed on presses or dedicated broaching machines. Style C collared bushings are a standard configuration in fixture design, commonly specified when the bushing must be retained axially by its collar against the fixture plate. Typical applications include keyway broaching, spline broaching, and shaped hole operations in both job shop and production settings.

Key Features

• Style C collared design provides positive axial retention in the fixture plate
• Plain bushing bore guides the broach tool for precise, repeatable cuts
• 32mm overall diameter suits standard fixture bore specifications
• Compact and lightweight at 0.56 pounds for easy handling and fixture assembly

Compatibility

Designed as a standard Style C collared broach bushing for use in broaching fixtures and press plates requiring a 32mm diameter bushing seat.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by toolroom machinists or fixture builders during fixture assembly or maintenance. Ensure the mating bore in the fixture plate is machined to the correct tolerance before pressing or seating the bushing. De-burr and clean all mating surfaces prior to installation to ensure proper seating and alignment. Remove all tooling from the press and relieve any stored energy before servicing or replacing bushings in an active fixture.
