ligurian Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Friend of mine ran up this neat little item that is perfect for center drilling round shafts in sizes from 3/16" to 1/2". There is a 'V' notch for larger round stock. This jig allows you to drill a pilot hole quickly. If you've ever changed out the brake rods on a mechanical brake system you know how many cotter pins have to be drilled. BRASS CAR guys should definitely have one. I've also found it very useful for throttle linkage and just anything that requires a cotter pin. It also came in handy when I had to make odd-ball clevis pins. The dimensions are 1" x. 3". It is hardened. I paid $60 for mine. Walt Federline in Frederick, Maryland, is making them. His number is 301-695-9110. www.federlineproducts.com/ I used it yesterday to pin a sleeve on a shaft. Easy as pie. Edited January 26, 2018 by ligurian description limited (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ligurian Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Walt Federline sold out his stock and is wondering if there is an interest in making more. One of the guys made all new linkages for his 1910 REO and he told me it was a piece of cake making all the cotter pin holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3makes Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 If there is another run of these, I'll purchase one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsfarms Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I would be interested as this device is simply a time saver that allows for an accurate hole every time. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MochetVelo Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'd intended to buy one, but never did. Let us know if Walt produces another run. Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
