Been researching this subject the last few days...
I can't seem to find very much info.

I've seen people with hand made jobbers for peach seed jigging, but not really up close to make one myself.
With all the different jigging patterns what are people using to accomplish this?
Recommended dremel bits anyone???
Stones??

I really don't want to buy pre jigged scales.

Thanks,
Manny
 
Severance Tool. (disclaimer for some of you, I am stating that Severance Tool makes burr cutting tools and yes I have ordered from them, not that I've jigged bone)
 
Thanks for the tip...
Just checked it out and it seems the shaft are to big to fit a dremel.
I might give them a call
 
They have 3/16", 1/8", and 3/32" shank tools. Is your Dremel different?
 
They are actually pretty simple to make. These are ats-34 left "ice hard" Draw circle, split it like a
pizza, drill and tap center hole and heat treat.--easy peasey. These work well because they don't
clog like the manufactured ones. The straight ones are just router bits. The 1/8" &1/4" shanks are both run
in die grinders Ken.

I wasn't sure what jigging bits were, so i googled it... and my phone auto-corrected jigging to jiggling .... let me tell you guys... you better have safe-search turned on when you google jiggling bits ! With KC Custom's post now I know what I should have been looking for. Those are some nice looking scales =)

Very nice Ken
I'm not for sure but does the cutting tip have a round groove filed in each tooth??
Or are they just filed round ?

Thanks
 
Manny, I first rough them out on a bandsaw, then go to a disc with the table set at 90 degrees
to the disc. Clean up the face of each tooth and the back. Some I leave with a square cut,
Some I do rounded, and some I put a divot in each tooth with a dremel red cutoff wheel. Some
of these I've been using for years with just an occasional touch up. By tapping the bone at speed
you can get all kinds of patterns. Hope this helps. Ken.
 
There's probably a ton of different bits and ways to do this. To be honest I learned about
it from Terry Davis in his book with Gene Shadley. I made my original one from 01 and
they worked OK. Once I started doing any amount of bone I went to ats-34 and have been
happy ever since. They seem to do wood, antler, and micarta well. When working with stag
and having to grind off some of the bark you can "re-txture" the ground off part to match the
existing bark.
Ken.

Thanks for the info...

I've been racking my brain trying to research the subject.
There is a ton of different jigging patterns.
And I'm sure s but for each.

Again thanks
