Which Drilling Jig?

[skeaterbait]

Skeater, I have used that same jig. It works “ok” but you need to make sure your limbs and riser as parallel as possible! You will also have to draw a center line on the limbs before you mount them to verify they are mounted straight. I’ve also had to swap them top and bottom before to get them lined back up.
It’s not perfect but it’ll work with some patience.
I am in the process of having a new jig machined and mounted to a machined surface to expedite the process.

I's broke folk, the jig is as machined as I can afford LOL

This jig was setup to drill riser and limb together or separate. Now I drill the riser from one side and the limb from the other. Keeping same side down as to how the limb will mount. Critical thing is riser and limb be exact same width. I had these holes machined so I can flip the block. Longbow one side and curve the other side. I hve drill bushings for insert and limb bolt holes.

I like that setup but I haven't built enough bows to get my width consistent so the self centering caters to my inabilities.

I built this one last night, should otta work well:)

Here you go skeater Can put the riser on here to. I dont know Roy looks like a Kenny M tool to me.

[Roy from Pa]

Yup, the ole timer from Mo sent me the plans...

Roy, can it take as large as a 5/16 inch bit.

[Roy from Pa]

Yupper:)

[skeaterbait]

I dunno Roy, I just don't see how them wheels are going to get to the ground to make it roll.

[Roy from Pa]

Ah come on skeater..

I slide the riser underneath it...

I had mine made at a machine shop about 30 years ago and still use it . Its a piece of steel one inch thick with hardened steel inserts that are drilled for my holes . It sets on its side clamped to my table saw, its very precise .

[Crooked Stic]

Good idea with the tablesaw. It would be easy to drill some mounting holes and drill and tap your saw bed and do away with the clamps.

Its basically what you have only one piece of steel I just flip it around for the top or bottom limb and handle keeping the same side down .
