Jig Hardware Kit

Jigs are very much part and parcel with woodworking. If you don’t own a particular setup, make it! When you make a jig, it is always nicer to have decent hardware to pimp it up- knobs, in particular.

This kit from Carbatec puts some very common jig-making hardware into a sorted box, ready for the next project.

There is both a 1/4″ and 5/16″ version of the kit. The 1/4″ is suitable for thinner T track (such as Incra), and the 5/16″ is suitable for heavier jigs, and larger track (such as what is used on the bed of the Torque Workcentre).

I’ve initially picked up the 5/16″ kit for some Torque Workcentre jigs, and may also pick up the 1/4″ set to provide a good range of T bolts, knobs, insert threads, T nuts etc.

Some existing clamps will become dedicated to the Torque Workcentre, so I have change their hardware over so they are well suited to the new tool bed.

These kits are normally $79 (which seems a bit high), but are still on special (not for much longer as I understand it!) from Carbatec for $49.
