That would have a very agricultural look, certainly functional, obviously would require the bumper fitting for the MOT."

jigs and fixtures are the devices which help in increasing the rate of identical parts and reducing the human efforts required for producing these parts, It has already been emphasized earlier that a center lathe is a suitable machine tool for producing individual parts of different shapes and sizes, but for producing similar articles in great number its use will not be economical. It increases the machining accuracy because the workpiece is automatically located and the tool is guided without making any manual adjustment. Once again, thanks for your time and effort mate, ill copy and paste this post into the my traveller Maude thread for the record.Body: It is a plate, box or frame type structure in which the components to be machined are located. It should be quite sturdy and rigid. Against this, a capstan and turret lathe can be easily adapted for repetition work on account of the multi-cooling arrangement and use of transverse stop this increases the rate of production. Ignore the bumper irons and make a new front jig mount that locates on two squares of steel made to bolt to the engine turret holes. Whatever be the types of fixture designed for grinding operation, it should have provisions for supply and exit of coolant, mounting of wheel dressers and should be properly balanced, if it is a rotating fixture. Boring Fixture

The other down side of these is you can't turn the body up-side-down, but I'm yet to find a time when I need to do this, it also needs 2 people to flip the shell. They aren't heavy at all, but just too big to handle. Strengthen the bumper iron first and weld a vertical square plate to it with four holes and then bolt another square plate to it with a stub for the bumper so that I can run with or without bumper without leaving any spikes. For example; a vertical surface grinder with a rotary table will normally have a rotary fixture secured to its table. Similarly, a plain or string fixture may be provided on a surface grinder with the reciprocating table. A drill grinding attachment is a glaring example of a standard fixture used for grinding of drill geometry. The speed, feed and depth of cut for machining can be increased due to high clamping rigidity of jigs and fixtures.I looked at the self loader and while it would be handy, it was cost that deterred me, if it was not for doing the Mini as well I probably would have made something. I did have an abortive attempt at building a jig from alloy scaffolding, but the stuff I had was inconsistent, some welded ok then another piece wouldn't with the same settings and I am still slowly getting to grips with the TIG. Always thought the rolloverjigs.com looked like hard work, badly designed and expensive too - mine cost just over a tenner, and thats was for the 4 scaffold joiners from a local sacffold company, everything else was just scrap I had lying about. Very sensible indeed. I talked to the guy yesterday and he explained that he would be supplying both the saloon and the traveller mounting options. I cant imagine how they differ at the moment as I don't have a saloon to compare. Perhaps its just the rear hole centres on the bumper mounts. The inner frame is also adjustable so the balancing point can be adjusted with ease with the clamping system allowing it to be clamped anywhere in the 700mm of adjustment. Making it easier to roll the car and keep the car level. This kit includes the deluxe neoprene mat, an extendable roll to assist rolling up your jigsaw and three hook and loop tape straps to keep it together while it is being stored.

Roll over jigs are great for body restoration and race preparation making welding in floors, sills and enclosed sections a lot less daunting especially for those newer to restoration been able to have the car body at a angle that not only is easier to work on but also allows you actually see what your doing there is also the safely aspect of not having to weld or angle grind underneath with all the hot sparks falling on you and burning your skin. It increases the production capacity by enabling a number of workpieces to be machined in the single set up and in some cases, a number of tools may be made to operate simultaneously. That would have a very agricultural look, certainly functional, obviously would require the bumper fitting for the MOT. This is the Roll and Restore standard series rollover jig tried and tested with 100s sold and shipped throughout the world.These fixtures, which are used for holding the components for performing mechanical operations, are known as mechanical assembly fixtures. Against this, there are other types of fixtures which the components are held for joining, such as the welding fixtures are also assembly fixtures, but for hot joining. Difference Between Jigs and Fixtures To avoid any creasing, the roll is presented around a cardboard drum which is perfect for keeping spare pieces safe during the transition. Finally, the elastic and velcro bands ensure everything stays in place! If needing to do a lot of extensive body panel replacement, this may not suit your needs.as the shell does need to be fairly sound.
