Hollow Grind Jig

I do not sell, distribute or endorse this jig in any way. It came with the machine it is mounted on....
The only markings on it say "Pat Pend"... nothing else.

Cool jig with it's adjustments in all the necessary directions. I'd hazard a guess it

was a limited production jig; whatever it's age. Back in the 70's I worked in various machine shops with various manual and numerical control taped vertical mills as a operator...till I found out I could get much better pay (and less personal expenses) working for the local city government.

@pyrolytic I agree !

When I worked for the state government, it seemed much safer than a machine shop! The pay was much better too! Ah, the good old days...

Sorry I dont remmeber the old timers name . I had talk to the maker about 2 years ago he mentioned he was in his 80 s and only makes about one or 2 per week as his hands give out . I know they are well worth the money and am glad I have one. He also invented a tapered tang attachment but I am missing a small piece and was 50 dollars and the entire attachment is 75 so I will most likely buy a new one before he passes on. Thanks again for showing the demo . Kellyw

I have had one of these jigs for 18 months and never used it because I free hand hollow grind. To be totally honest I talked with the maker and could not figure how I was going to attatch the jig to my kmg after you showing this video its my next project. You just opened up a whole new world for me wow you made it look easy. thanks to dennis for sending me the link to your video . Kellyw

Those jigs are still made. Jantz knife supply sells them. Just search for "hollow grinding jig" on their site. That being said, the price is a bit ridiculous. You're looking at over $320 bucks for a new one.....
