I have said it before, and I will say it again.

WHY THE HELL CAN PEOPLE NOT TAKE CARE OF OTHER'S TOOLS?!?!?!?!?!?

I cannot believe the disregard of other's property, especially when they are letting you use it!

If I were not on the list for rental, I would say to not let it go back out. No need to have your tools FUBAR'd by someone who is blatently ungrateful.

Shipped the jig back to Quarterbore today:

Tracking number: 1ZR3A0750340553366

The jig worked great for the first 5 flats, no problems. On the 6th one when I removed the plate both pins remained in the block instead of the plate. One had been held in by some type of epoxy and the other had broke where it was welded on the other side of the plate. I'm not sure what caused it. I was going to drill through the plate and tack the pins back in but I didn't have any lucky in that due to the hardness of the steel/weld. Don't know what else I could have done from there besides glueing them back in and letting them come out again on the next person.

Guys,

I got the jig sometime in the past few days but I have not been at the house much. I have a bit of a crisis I am trying to help manage and I have not got to look at the jig yet. I need to get some things done and load the truck for some projects this weekend. If I get time I will look at the jig and see if there is a quick and easy way to fix the jig and get it out...

If I can't fix the alignment pins quickly, would a couple guys want to use the jig as is as all that would need to be done is measure the flat on each side to center it... that is the way my old 555th jig had worked and with the holes in the metal it should be easy to center...

Again, my family is dealing with a crisis at the moment so please understand if I am unable to get the jig back out for a couple days. I am not posting specifics of the crisis here as I do not want unneeded attention here... it will make sence in the future when I can share more!

I'd still use it. Hell, if you want to send it out like it is, once it gets to me, I can get it repaired PROPERLY. I have all the needed tooling (Mini Mill) and have access to a 3-axis CNC Mill if needed.

I hope you get you home issues taken care of soon. Good luck.

I'd be willing to use it as is but it sounds like killjoy may have access to some machinery to fix it.

Send me your address via IM and I will let you have a go at it... I have way too much going on right now....

No rent is needed... if it costs you anything to fix it or I owe you anything for your efforts please let me know...

I would like to rent your bending jig if you can get it back up and running again. This is my first build and I only have one flat to bend. Don't worry about time, though. I'll still be here next whenever you and the jig are ready. Hope everything works out at home.

What is the current status of the jig rental?
Looks like I might get my turn about Christmas at this rate!
