| 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." |

| Registered User Jr. Member  |  Bobj3 homemade knobs Bobj3 I really liked your idea on homemade knobs to save money. I just finished one and it looks great. I used a cad program that I have to layout different sizes on the knobs. I used the calculation of 51.428571428571428571428571428571 degrees for my layout (360 / 7) for the heptagon and then just laid out the holes for drilling. It was easy. I can scale my drawing to increase or decrease the overall size of the knob depending on my need on the jig. Thanks for the great idea!  |

| Registered User Forum King  | Bob I was finishing off a new jig and need a couple of small knobs , and was going to purchase tomorrow. Now I sit down check the forum and what appears as a new thread! Look what I have found, I did see them once before but forgot all about them. Thanks, I will make a couple of 5/16 knobs now tomorrow, I have the T nuts. Your timing was great! Thanks John

| Registered User Jr. Member | I would love to make knobs like that but since I don't have that piece of equipment and I really don't have that great of need for knobs, I'll stick to the first method but the second method really looks good. |
