Rolland,

Check the June 1995 Journal for an in depth comparison/evaluation of hammer
boring jigs.

I have used the Renner jig here at school two or three times. It is a
beautifully crafted tool which gives you very good, consistent results. I'm
not familiar with any of the other jigs reviewed except the Brooks Hammer
boring jig, which is also excellent.

Good luck.
