I have been in the shop building my jig. It is a crime scene choppers knock off that I have done some slight changes to the prints.

It has been a 3 week process.
I started by cutting the two main slide rails.
I put one rail on top the other to insure same length.
Did the same with the top rails.
I cut all the other pieces and sand blasted the ones that fit in the cabnet.
This took a long time!!!!
Then took the burrs off all parts.
All the parts blasted.
I then sanded them and the ones that would not fit in cabnet.
All the parts cleaned and ready for machining.
This took a long time!!!!
After 3 days machining!!!
I have all the parts machined. I love my Bridgeport Mill!!!
Welding the top rails on.
Welded the frame together. Took longer than you would think to make sure straigt!!!!!
Showing rails true along top sliding edge.
Welded plates to bottom of post. This is on of the mods I did by taping holes.
Fixed post in center of jig.
Matted to each other.
Made sure angles matched jig because table not leveled.
Other direction
Showing the are paralell
Welded the rear jig mount and made sure same as table. Measurement has changed because table was moved while welding.
Moved post and welded the other neck ficture to match.
Clamped together.
Clamps removed after welding
Installed all thread in neck.
Welding motor and rail fixture.
Fixture welded. This is one of the other mods made by making adjustable rails,
Jig done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What do you guys think?????
