Re: Post pictures of your collector jigs.
check out my buddies shop here on Facebook. he is machining collector jigs that he will start selling after he finishes a large round of them. should make the process of cutting for collectors damn near idiot proof

Re: Post pictures of your collector jigs.
Cutting anything on a chop saw sucks..... the clean up is horrible. I practiced once on some PCV and it came out great at 90degrees. Once i went to cut with the SS the blade deflection made it a difficult task. I plan to get a band saw one of these days and give it another shot.

Re: Post pictures of your collector jigs.
Seeing that fixture Justin created makes me wonder if it would be possible to use one of these: Wilton Drill Press Vise, Angle, Cradle Style, 3 in 11753 | Zoro.com to accomplish the same thing.
It made me wonder so much that I bought one and am going to give it a whirl. Can be locked at any angle between 0 and 90 so I think with some minor modifications it has potential. With the coupon I had it was just north of $50 delivered so hell, why not. Lol. Even if it fails miserably for collectors I don't doubt I'll find another use for it.

Re: Post pictures of your collector jigs.
Little update on my indexable drill press vise that seems to be just the ticket for doing collectors.
It showed up yesterday and I was able to play around with it a little bit today. We were pretty slow because it snowed most of the day.
Came to the conclusion that the vise will work as I originally thought, and I'm going to be able to make it really sweet with an angle gauge, step block, and v-jaws.
Unfortunately my cold saw doesn't quite have the vertical clearance for the setup to work as well as I'd like so I bought a second one that I'm going to modify. I'm planning to make a riser, possibly a modular riser system if I have time, but bare minimum one riser to move the saw head up off the table 3-4 inches to give me plenty of room to work.
I will update later and post some pictures when it's appropriately re-engineered and setup. Needless to say, I'm pretty excited. According to ups the saw is going to be here wednesday.

Re: Post pictures of your collector jigs.
How would one make one of these collectors? I've always used normal straight ones, cut about 4 to 5 inches and used 18 Deg angles. This time my space is very restricted. I'm struggling to build a jig to cut these, can anyone help? Here's a couple of pictures of what I want to do:

Re: Post pictures of your collector jigs.
this is my first collector. turbo and flange is borg warner s200sx (little t4 size)
made on little bandsaw with 59° angle.
im waiting for my 2x precision wastegates to weld the 44mm flange on
welding is not my job. ive learned it from a friend. just learning by doing.
