    Channel and Tumble-Box Jigs

    Uploaded by

    joel
    Channel and tumble-box jigs allow drilling into multiple surfaces of a workpiece without relocating it, providing greater accuracy than using separate jigs. These jigs can be complicated and expensive to build but cost-effective if designed properly. Channel jigs, like the one shown, use U-shaped channels to drill into three surfaces. Tumble-box jigs allow drilling from all six sides and come in standard sizes that can be customized with bushings and clamps.

    Channel and tumble-box Jigs

    Channel and tumble-box jigs permit drilling into more than one surface of a workpiece without
    relocating the workpiece in the jig. This results in greater accuracy with less handling than using several
    separate jigs. These jigs can be quite complicated and more expensive to build than simpler types, but
    they can still be cost effective if properly designed. An
    example of a channel jig is shown in the Figure. The channel
    jig in Figure was designed to drill holes into three surfaces.
    A U-shaped channel was used as the main body, along with
    press-fit drill bushings, locators, and clamping details. The
    U-shaped channels used to construct this jig can be cast,
    built-up, or of welded construction. Tumble-box jigs permit
    drilling and similar operations from all six sides. They are
    commercially available in a variety of sizes, which can be
    prepared to machine a particular part by adding drill
    bushings and a means to locate and clamp the part.
    Because of this off-the-shelf availability, designers often
    choose a tumble-box jig over a channel jig when machining only two or three sides of a workpiece.
