This jig is strongly inspired by the jig of the well known blue colored jig brand. Although they have the same properties, they are not compatible.

This jig has built-in measuring scales and a adjustable edge guide for easy positioning.

19 mm - 111 mm edge guide to hole center spacing
center, 64 mm, 96 mm and 128 mm drill spacing guide
2 Drill guides for use with a 4.5 mm drill bit

Parts

For building this jig you need:

1 x Jig base
1 x Edge guide
2 x Drill guides with knurled nuts
2 x T-knobs
2 x Hexagon bolts M6x20mm
2 x Inserts M6x10mm, brass
2 x Hardened drill bush 4.5mmx8, DIN179A

Print instructions

This is a multi color print. Change the filament when printing the measuring scale on the back of the tool or use the print file enclosed.

I printed the jig with and without support and the results are nearly the same with a slightly better result on the angled front face when printed with support.

Print the jig upside down on the bed on a textured steel sheet for best results.
