<html> My drill press happens to be part of the Shopsmith system. I clamp Wally's jig to the rip fence and incremental adjustments to hammer blow can be done with a slight turn of the crank to move the table. Lacking a means to easily alter the 'vertical' plane of the platform I can see where the RennerUSA jig is better suited.

If I build one it will be similar to the Renner tool. The reason I've opted not to use the Brooks jig is I follow a procedure similar to what Newton posted - measuring string heights, center pin heights, etc., blasting them through a spreadsheet template, and found repeated incremental adjustments were slower than just freehanding the rig to a mark punched on each molding. The new vise is hefty enough to stay put, faster and more repeatable to load, if not so easy to lift. The angle markings are much worse than Brooks' (mine's, uh, second hand - I always used a protractor anyhow), but soon to be replaced with a vernier scale. Cheap (I think shipping was free), ugly, but fairly versatile once "tuned up". I saw an orange Honda motorcycle that looked just like a Puch minus pedals, now that was sexy. Clark </blockquote></html>
