Mitreing/Coping fixture

[P K]

Made this coping fixture 15 yrs. ago and never used it. Thought I was gonna be building frames but now I'm having to admit it might not happen. Would like to sell this, any suggestions on value? or where to sell?

1) You assign the value. Only you know the time, labor, and materials that went into this.
2) It looks like you are selling it here atmo.

Apologies, everyone, I haven't been around this world for a bit so I thought I would try to get help setting a value on this, I know what I have into it but since it's been 15 yrs. I don't know what it should sell for. Please move/delete post whatever, don't want to make a bad first posting (s) and I could use some help setting the value of my first post on stem jig.

Well look at the competition. New jiggers can go for pretty cheap. Yes, I know there's a difference between made for a price point tooling and that which is made to work well. But no one will really know which your's is. So many will just compare claims, then price.

A main concern with these tools is the flexibility/vibration that the cheaper ones have. Whether it's from the base plate, the tubing clamp or the hole saw's shaft (loose within the bushing, or too small a diameter). Do you know how your's does compared to known brands in this regard? Andy.

No worries atmo. Put a price on it - who knows, maybe you'll catch someone here.

Thanks for allowing this.

This fixture is bomber, at the time "The 'Ol Joint Jigger" or "Lil joint jigger" was the cheap popular tool. I wanted to make something that would crush that sloppy/flimsy thing. I made this with a 1" carburized drill rod shaft through linear bearings in the hard ano'd pillow block. Clamp block is hard ano'd as well, and can accept up to 4" pipe. Main plates are precision ground and oxide coated. This thing has zero slop in shaft/pillow and when clamped/positioned correctly in clamp block, hole saws stay on center up past 3" dia. pipe of all kinds. Has huge range of adjustment for any angle and locates from edge of plate to set angle with common angle finder tool, for super-easy angle setting. Have hack-saw guides as well, air hardended with bearings at the bottom, goes in place of drill block. And somewhere I have a spare shaft with a drill chuck mounted for drilling not hole-sawing.

OK this really does look like a sales pitch. Can we please move both threads? Thanks/sorry.

I recently saw Calfee's bamboo layup demo at the Philly Bike Expo. This Jig would work great for that type of mitering application. (he was displaying one that he sells as part of a kit). You could see what his kits go for or at least just that piece and price accordingly. there may be a bamboo bike forum you a sell it on as well.
