Jigs

[MAC]

Second is a jig that CS made and I copied. The tail piece is adjustable for length. The screw is for doing needles.

Third is a jig I use to cut head slopes on surfsters or pikes. Note I set my sander table at a similar height to my bench. you could use a dowel but I use the same size drill bit as I used for the belly hole. The vise grip clamp holds the tail even with centerline.

Hope these can help someone out a little.

Thanks Mac, are you just using finger pressure to hold the plug in the V Block when drilling?

yes, just be careful to not wear loose clothing as that spinning drill bit can grab you quickly.

Mac, where did you get that "V" extrusion? That's da balz!
