Every time I search about jigs & fixtures, I find these terms together, which makes me think that these are the same and always used together. But the curiosity forced me to look for the differences and similarities between these two tools that make a lifeline in the manufacturing industries like furniture. If you are also confused and want to know more about jigs & fixtures , check the points below. Before looking at the similarities and differences, let's first check uses explained by jigs and fixtures manufacturers: These reduce the cost of production by eliminating the time and efforts wasted on setting up of tools These boost the production These help in improving the quality of work by reducing errors  These help in designing of complex shapes With jigs and fixtures, work can be done even by less skilled labour Improved safety at the work place is another benefit of these tools Similarities between jigs and fixtures Jigs and fixtures mean the same thing ...

Milling, sometimes also referred to as machining, is the process of cutting metal and other materials using the cutting tools. It has been among the widely used processes in the Industrial fabrication work in which the metal or steel is cut and shaped skilfully. These several types of milling centres used in the metal fabrication industry, which are often classified as horizontal milling centre and vertical milling centre. As the name suggests, vertical milling is equipped with vertically aligned cutting elements whereas horizontal milling has horizontally aligned cutting elements. Though both of these types of milling centres are used to do the same job, however, the approaches they take are different. In this blog post, we will talk about the vertical milling centre and its advantages and disadvantages. Advantages of Vertical Milling Centre Low Cost The vertical milling centres are cost-effective and are considered as a good investment for the metal fabrication industry. Owing...

The present world is a machine world. Lots of updated technologies and mechanisms are used for designing and the development of a new machine. These machines, tools, appliances, and more have reduced the use of words impossible. Jigs and fixtures sound so ordinary and are just a tool or supportive part of work but the entire mechanism fails in their absence. So, let's have some detailed discussion on Jig and Fixture. Jig : To understand the jig better we can call it a tool in easy language. The main task of this tool is to guide the mechanism or the cutting tool. taking the example of drill jig would present an easily understandable platform. The drill jig gets guidance to drill holes where the operator wants. Woodworking and welding jigs are also popular due to their highly focused performance. Fixture : Fixture is known in the technical world as a supportive tool. It is used to hold the workpiece perfectly to allow the desired milling. The use of fixtures is popular as...
