Pimped My Bevel Filing Jig.

[dazcon]

I decided to rebuild my filing jig in the hope of achieving better results and overcoming a few problems I was encountering. It was make-do or re-do time. I'm not going to try to explain anything for now. I'll let you work it out yourself for the time being.

A little bit more tinkering to do but it is fully operational.
















Thanks for looking. Comments, good or bad will be taken on board and possibly made to walk the plank!

That, Sir, is a work of art. Cap duly doffed in recognition of the time and effort that must have taken.

I’d love to see a walk-through of how it works.

I've got to ask... where does the knife go?

Very steampunk, but a cracking machine none the less

 

[WealdenWoodsman]

Very cool! Got to love a good bit of engineering, outstanding work.

 

[Tomteifi]

Wow! Put some wheels on it and call it a classic! That is definitely a one off. An amazon drone couldn't lift that. It looks like you have used it. How much of an improvement have you had on your blade/s?

 

[Hunkyfunkster]

That is a feat of engineering. Very impressive

 

[Muddypaws]

Proper over-engineered work! (And I mean that as a compliment).
In many years, when civilisation as we know it no longer exists, your filing jig will still be standing, creating an archaeological puzzle for any future race.

'Pimped' seems a bit of a understatement to say the least! A superb work of art sir and very cool

 

[dazcon]

Thanks for the comments guys! The blade clamps on the flat slabs at the front. They slide in a channel. The two rulers are so that I can flip the blade and set the symmetry the same for both sides. This jig will be put to hard use but that doesn' mean it has to be ugly.

I assume you have a background in engineering?

 

[dazcon]

My background is woodwork but I've always enjoyed tinkering with other things.

Very Steam Punk

I assume, if you make a mistake, you can dial in a couple of minutes in the past and jump back

Love it.

Natural born mechanical engineer!

A truly magnificent piece of art, should be in an art gallery.......... however, ............I do think you need to get out more..........lol

 

[dazcon]

lol. Thank you! I enjoyed every minute spent knocking this together. Maybe that's because i could have a few beers whilst doing it. I'll do a little explanation about the jig when I get the chance.

Stunning

Thank You.
