    Default Any interest in custom tree perc jigs?

    I have been designing some tree perc tools out of graphite like the usuall ones.!
    I have access to a cnc machine and was wondering if anyone would be interested If i could make custom tree perc jigs. The price would vary from size to size and they would be completely custom. Anyone interested?

    Have confidence in your ability and just go ahead and make them, I'm sure if it's of a merchantable and usable quality, word will get around and you will have a steady sideline to whatever other work you do.
    It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at.
    Really.

    I am in the bay area, I can use alluminum also I just like graphite better because of the heat expansion of metal, not a big problem tho. Il make a few in the next week to show to ask what they are worth

    At that price the litton tool better be gold plated and come with full release!

    I don't have a set, I have been wanting a set for a long time! I believe the set shown is made by H.A. I am not sure, I can't even remember where I got the photo?

    The taper on any octagonal reamer is the same as what ground joints use. Unless you need the sculpted outside, just use your reamer to get the basic shape, then use cerium oxide or diamond powder or any other abrasive that would be appropriate. YAY! Ground joints!

    Or is that tool from HA just to hold them? Seems like a good idea, but hard to hold in your hand while turning

    It is to mold them. And not all octagonal reamers are a perfect 10-1 taper. If you need the outside of your joints uniform that tool is the shit.

    I want a pair of the Littons as well, but have never bitten the bullet. If it was half the price, I'd buy a set instantly.
