Leaf Jigs

Leaf jigs are small clamping fixtures that use a hinged leaf to apply pressure and hold bushings for drilling operations. While they can be used for large parts, most leaf jig designs are limited in size for easy handling. The example leaf jig described is designed specifically to drill two precisely located holes in a small connecting rod by clamping it between tapered V-blocks that force it against drill bushings held in the hinged leaf.

LEAF JIGS

A leaf jig is generally small and incorporates a hinged leaf


that carries the bushings, and through which clamping
pressure is applied. Although the leaf jig can be used for
large and cumbersome workpieces, most designs are limited
in size and weight for easy handling. A leaf jig can be boxlike
in shape, with four or more sides for drilling holes
perpendicular to each side. Leaf jigs with additional feet are
often called tumble jigs. They permit operations from more
than one side.

The leaf jig shown in Figure was specifically designed and


built to drill two holes in a small connecting rod. The hinged
drill plate contains the drill bushings and is precisely located
at both ends by the slots in the body of the jig. The
workpiece is located and clamped between two V-blocks,
one fixed and the other movable. The V-blocks are tapered
to force the workpiece down against the base of the jig body. Leaf jigs for drilling two holes
