Drilling jig?
« on: December 02, 2015, 02:05:00 AM »
Hi Guys, it's been a while but slowly staying with it as I try to stay on schedule with my Taxidermy business. Anyway, wondering if any of you have used that drilling jig from OMC Bowyer Supply? Just looking for a more accurate set up for drilling limb holes/riser holes.It's a self centering jig and I'm thinking it would work real good, Let me know if you have any input before I move forward and buy one. Thanks Guys, and God Bless....Pat

I made my own jig, the tricky part is getting the holes dead center. Use any hard wood 1" thick or better in a 90 degree lay up.  Clamp the limbs, riser and jig together and drill. This worked for me, one bolt hole was out by maybe 3-4 thou.

I used a self centering jig for years and got buy with it. But it was nowhere near perfect. Everything looked centered but when put together needed some trimming here and there for a good looking fit. I up graded to this setup. Pretty quick and very accurate. $300

If you take your specs to any good machine shop they should be able to make it. These pics are the ones I used to show the machinist what I wanted. I gave him a riser block with inserts in it to work off of. Mine is set up to drill limbs and riser separate. Can be made to do either way.

I have been using omc drill jig for a while now it works pretty well. I was looking for something easy when I got it and it has met my expectations.
