Simple, Astonishingly Effective Jigs You've Never Seen Anywhere Else Add speed, accuracy and ease to almost every operation in your shop with this book of 16 ingenious jigs, clever workshop aids and amazing devices that you simply cannot buy in any store. These jigs are the helping hands that turn a bench-pounding frustrating glue-up into a calm, controlled and confident operation. They're the things that tool manufacturers should have added to all your tools, and they're the time-saving shortcuts you wish you'd thought of. • Cut accurate tenons on any curved shape with a one-piece table saw jig. • Trick your drill press to bore accurate mortises at any conceivable angle. • Sculpt elegant raised-panel doors with the safest and most adjustable jig ever. • Turn parts of any length (yes, any length) without ever moving your lathe's tool rest. • Secure parts of any shape to your bench with ever-obedient bench dogs and dirt-simple cradles. • Draw accurate arcs and circles that are out of range of all commercial compasses.

This source book will help both beginners and experienced woodworkers create accurate, safe jigs and fixtures that cater for almost any need. Features include: the building blocks required to make all jigs and fixtures - including fences, carriages, tables and stops; how to conceptualize the jig then build it to cater for a particular job; materials used and construction techniques; and safety instructions and controlling dust.

This textbook is aimed at providing an introduction to the subject for undergraduate students studying mechanical and manufacturing engineering at most universities. Many of the universities prescribe a syllabus that contains both Design of Jigs and Fixtures, and Design of Press Tools in a single semester course. Keeping the above in mind, this book is designed in two parts. Part-I deals with Jigs and Fixtures and Part-II is earmarked exclusively for the study of Press Tools. Both these subjects are built progressively in successive chapters. A separate appendix, in each part, provides short answer questions with answers, which will help the students in clarifying doubts and strengthen their knowledge. The explanatory notes and illustrations provided in the book will serve as an aid for learning. End-of-chapter questions and answers will prove useful for self study. This textbook will be extremely useful for the students and practicing engineers studying mechanical, manufacturing, and production engineering.
