    This document discusses various aids to making, including jigs and fixtures. Jigs and fixtures help increase force, precision, repeatability, and safety when making things. Different tools are used for different jobs, like workbenches, vises, and power tools designed around workholding like table saws and miter saws. Fixtures support and locate workpieces while jigs guide cutting tools. Following a constrained process and using guides, stops, and squareness aids reproducibility. Milling and dovetail joints are examples given of processes aided by jigs and fixtures. The document concludes with potential readings, watchings, and projects related to interactive fabrication.

    The key takeaways are that jigs and fixtures are tools used to guide other tools for increased precision, accuracy and repeatability in manufacturing. They allow for mass production of interchangeable parts.

    Some purposes of jigs and fixtures mentioned are to increase force/power applied to work, reduce time to make something, increase precision and accuracy, and allow for repeatability.

    A fixture is a device which supports and locates a workpiece to increase accuracy, while a jig guides and controls a cutting tool. Hand tool users also refer to jigs and fixtures as 'appliances'.

    Aids to Making:

    Jigs and Fixtures


    One of my primary objects is to form the
    tools so the tools themselves shall fashion
    the work and give to every part its just
    proportion.

    We shape our tools and afterwards our


    tools shape us.

    Workbenches and Workholding

    In the House of the Vetti, this dining room fresco is


    perhaps the earliest depiction of a workbench in the West.

    A fixture is a device which


    supports and locates a workpiece.

    This increases the accuracy,


    precision, reliability, and
    interchangeability of the work.

    Make sure can hold the part during all steps

    Minimize number of times the work is relocated

    Repetitive operations in the same location


    guarantee precise alignment

    ■ E.g. drill increasing sized co-axial holes


    Same operation on multiple parts gives precise
    alignment, e.g. cutting or drilling multiple pieces

    Use guides and stops for reproducibility

    1. Flatten one face on jointer

    2. Plane second face on the thickness
