Sorry I did not BUT I did get to play with the jigs a little and I think I need to get some photos of the jig as there is something a little strange...
I dug out my original DPH jig and out of curiosity I stuck what I thought was the bent lower plate with the pins on Jig #1 and it looks pretty good. When I tightened up the screws it looks like that jig should work fine?
Next, I took the bottom plate that holds the flat to the jig from my #1 jig and tried that on jig #2... that jig has a pretty big arc on the surface where the plate gets attached...
I fail to see how anybody could have bent the jig body itself as that is a very serious piece of steel... I have been working late a lot and I really need to get some photos but right now it looks like the bottom plate on my original jig will work just fine. I plan to bend up another receiver and see if that works...
As for the 2nd jig, I have no idea what to think. It might be possible to chuck it up in a milling machine and mill the top flat but I just fail to see how this could have happened from use but I sure didn't notice it when it was first sent out.
I think I need a couple stiff drinks or some serious drugs as I am really perplexed by the two jigs but if I can get jig #1 back out I would be really happy as I doubt that jig was used to bend more then 10-flats before it had issues. I have done another 2 or 3 since without the alignment pins but still... 13 flats on a $130 jig isn't so great $/flat ratio.
Please give me until this weekend as on Saturday I will be able to bend up the receivers and get photos... I also do not have steel that is the correct size and I had tried my local hardware with no luck...
I appreciate the offer but you have to see what I am seeing OR I need someone to verify I am not going nuts somehow...?
