How to mount a litchco Jig
« on: February 04, 2013, 04:03:39 PM »
So here is the deal. I recently purchased a used ovalmatic drill press jig.
It came with a giant base plate. Now there is no way I can see how to mount my jig with the base plate connected its far to tall for my mill machine.I have seen this jig mounted minus the base plate. How do I mount this jig to my mill machine?
Any help would be great

I know on our milling machine, we had to get a longer collar custom made so the jig would work correctly.   Granted it helps a ton when the desigers of the jig are 35 min away from us (precision bowling products, Rochester ny )

It was.     As for your situation,  I don't know what type of mill you have or anything.  But from what my shop owner has told me is thàt everybody he has talked to has had to get the the collar "extended" or else you can't get the drill bits into the chuck with the ball in the jig.

Best I can tell.If I could mount the jig my press is high enough to work.I have a drill press from innovative I believe.
Im trying to figure out how to mount it to my mill table.
