Title: Take down centering jig
Post by: Rigs 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

I use a TASK and it works well.

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.
