A bushing for a drill template, the bushing has a head portion for receipt of a drill motor. The head portion has a top surface and a bottom surface with at least one pin protruding from the bottom surface of the head portion. The pin fits within a secondary opening in a template to help retain the bushing in place. A body portion extends from the bottom surface of the head portion. The body portion has an outer surface with a portion of it threaded. The body portion extends through a primary drill hole in the template. A fastening nut having inner threads mates with the outer threads on the body portion to lock the bushing to the template. A bore extends through the head portion and the body portion for receipt of a drill bit.

A match drilling tool comprising a body comprising a drilling leg and a fixing leg, said drilling leg being separated from said fixing leg by a gap, wherein said drilling leg defines a cutter guide opening, and wherein said fixing leg defines an alignment pin opening, said alignment pin opening being concentric with said cutter guide opening; and an alignment pin slideably received in said alignment pin opening.

A precise manufacturing method for manufacturing a liquid container is described hereinafter. Assemble a first jig element with a second jig element. Make a first datum plane at the first jig element, and make a second datum plane at the second jig element, next, unlock the first jig element and the second jig element. Assemble a base with the first jig element, assemble a cup-shaped element with the second jig element. Make a through hole at the cup-shaped element, and the through hole is corresponding to the second datum plane, make an assembling portion at the base, and the assembling portion together with a perforation is corresponding to the first datum plane. Detach the second jig element, detach the first jig element, and then the cup-shaped element is assembled with the base, so the perforation and the through hole are located at the same direction.

The design of the vise mechanism in this Tube Notching Device increases capabilities to position the cutting tool relative to the feedstock. This device holds feedstock, centering the feedstock latitudinally and longitudinally to the cutting bit allowing cuts to be reproduced true to each other due to the design of the vise mechanism. Existing tube notching devices allow for the cutting tool to be pivoted relative to the feedstock in one axis, and have vices that only center in one axis. The effectiveness of this tube notching device is increased by the ability of the cutting tool to both translate in one direction and pivot in 2 axes relative to the feedstock, as well as have a vice that can canter feedstock horizontally and vertically. This increased adjustability allows the vise and cutting head to be closer together, which increases safety, operator comfort, and cutting bit life.

A pocket hole drill guide having a central base member, the pocket hole drill guide having two fifteen-degree guide channels for applying a pocket hole on a workpiece by way of a drill and drill bit. The pocket hole drill guide has a three-tenths inch diameter drill guide and a three hundred seventy-five thousandths inch diameter guide channel on opposing ends of the pocket hole drill central base member, with the exit holes of the guide channels on the same contact face of the central base member. The guide channels intersect at the fifteen-degree angles, so material can be removed from, and a user can quickly alternate between the two sized guide channels for ease of use and rapid production capacity. A multi-slot extrusion is provided which may be mounted to an L-shaped extrusion bracket, making the use of a miter bar optional and the system itself more portable.

A drill jig apparatus configured to be coupled to a locomotive bedplate is presented. The apparatus can include a first member and a second member. The first member can be configured to attach a drill to provide stability while drilling, and the second member can be operably coupled to a locomotive, such as to an engine and bedplate of a locomotive. An engine dowel drilling system is also presented, which can include a drill jig member and a bushing member, and the members can be operably coupled with one another. A method of drilling holes in a locomotive bedplate can include using a drill jig and a bushing to facilitate drilling, and the drill jig can be a conductor-side jig or an engineer-side jig. A kit is also presented for engine dowel installation that can standardize dowels and dowel holes.

A lock and pin for the structural and fluid tight repair of cracks not amenable to high temperature repairs or synthetic material patches. Fluid tight pins and locks seal the crack while one or more locks prevent the crack from growing. These repairs need to endure the remaining life cycle of the machinery part while withstanding all the strain, pressure, heat and expansion and contraction of the part before the crack(s) were formed. Often these cracks evolved due to engineering design flaws that will require even greater strength from these areas than when new.

A quick grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support. A clamp body having a trigger and a release mechanism is connected to the clamping rod on a rearward side of the clamp support. The clamp body is a quick grip clamp body that facilitates quick gripping of a workpiece positioned within the support section. The clamping assembly includes a return spring and a release mechanism such that when the release mechanism is actuated the drill guide carrier and the drill guide assembly are automatically moved to a non-clamping position.

A fast grip pocket hole jig system is presented having a support section having a clamp support, an end stop and a back stop. A clamping assembly is connected to the support section having a clamping rod that extends through the clamp support. A drill guide carrier having a drill guide assembly is connected to the clamping rod on a forward side of the clamp support The clamping assembly includes a multi directional movement mechanism operatively connected to the drill guide assembly. In one or more arrangements, the multi directional movement mechanism includes a forward actuator and a rearward actuator. The multi directional movement mechanism is configured to move clamping rod and/or drill guide carrier forward when the forward actuator is actuated. Conversely, the multi directional movement mechanism is configured to move clamping rod and/or drill guide carrier rearward when the rearward actuator is actuated.
