Take down centering jig
« on: March 24, 2017, 10:05:00 AM »
Greetings All,

I've been away for a while and am getting back into putting a few bows together.

I'm wanting to take a stab at a 3 piece and am looking for advice on centering jigs.

What are you using and how do you like it?  I have heard of the Bingham's jig of course, Ed Roskopf's centering jig, and of guys using centering doweling jigs.  I don't build enough to have a jig machined...

Let me know what you're using and how you like it.

Thanks in advance.

Happy hunting,
Jason

Thanks BBH,

Does it have the  right size holes for pins and threaded inserts?

OMC jig for me... it's pricey but works extremely well.

Welcome back rigs

How long has it been, and how long were you on here?
what kind do you like to build, Recurves or D/R's?

Creativity and the search for knowledge are what keep me sane(ish)
