Title: Binghams drilling jig holes
Post by: T Folts on March 07, 2010, 06:06:00 PM
Who has used the drilling jig from binghams?
I was going to drill out the holes in the limbs and riser but the drill bits are too tight to fit through. Have any of you had this problem?

I have not used the Binghams jig but I did make my own out of steel and used  a 27/64 for the riser insert hole, 5/16 for the limb bolt hole and 1/4 for the alignment pin holes. These seem to work good for me,hope this helps.

Good luck,Steve

I had to sand the inside and basically ream it out with the bits to get them to pass through, no problem now.
