Spoke-Hole Jig
Oct 25, 2005
Here is a simple jig for drilling evenly spaced holes in turned goods. To make the jig, turn a dowel on one end of a scrap block to fit the hole in the tool-rest holder. Drill a guidehole through the block. To use the jig, mount the block in the tool-rest holder and lock in place at the right position. Drill into the work through the guide hole. Use the lathe indexing to hold the work and space the holes correctly.
