Dumont Minute Man 44503 Collared Broach Bushing 15mm

Product Description

The DUMONT MINUTE MAN 44503 is a Style A collared broach bushing with a 15mm overall diameter, designed to guide broaching tools accurately through workpieces during machining operations. The collared design seats the bushing securely against the fixture or jig, preventing movement during the broach stroke. This bushing is a precision tooling component used primarily in production and repair machining environments. At 0.06 pounds, it is a compact, lightweight piece suited for bench or floor press setups where repeatable hole quality is required.

This bushing is used in metalworking and machining applications where a broach must be guided through a specific bore size. Typical install scenarios include fixture-mounted broaching on hydraulic or arbor presses in production shops, toolrooms, and maintenance machining environments. The 15mm diameter makes it applicable to metric-dimensioned workpieces and tooling setups. Machinists and tooling technicians are the primary end users.

Key Features

• Style A collared design for positive fixture seating and broach alignment
• 15mm overall diameter for metric tooling compatibility
• Lightweight at 0.06 pounds for easy handling and fixture loading
• Sold individually, allowing single-unit replacement without bulk purchase

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-use broach bushing for Style A collared bushing applications requiring a 15mm bore guide diameter.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a machinist or tooling technician during fixture setup or tooling replacement. Ensure the press and any associated fixturing are fully de-energized and at rest before seating or removing the bushing. The bushing should be pressed or hand-fitted squarely into the fixture bore without forcing, as cocking can damage the guide surface. Verify alignment with the broach tool before initiating the stroke.
