Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures."

Bob,

I like the idea you present.

Joe,

I may be cynical here but why would OP make one jig to do it all when it is selling separate jigs? From a business stance, it would not be cost effective. I think that anyone wanting a "universal" jig is going to have to fabricate it by him or herself. Hmmmm, now where did I put that poly sheet?

Joe,

My idea describes a Base unit, the biggest part of the jig, that "carries" an Insert for the individual sizes.

They would be selling the Base unit AND individual Inserts for the sizes they wish to make. The Inserts would be cheaper than the whole thing, as it is now... They would probably sell more Inserts than they're selling big jigs now, resulting in more overall sales.

I hope that clarified my thinking...

Joe,

That makes a bit more sense. Good progressive thinking on your part. I hope OP considers it.
