Title: Every used one of these?
Post by: HeelSpur on August 24, 2012, 05:16:59 PM

I take it this is used for sharpening self-feed bits.
Only bought it out of curiosity and havn't really looked at it
besides snapping a pic.

I have no idea if everything is in the kit that is needed.
I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow to see if I can figure it out.

Bears a striking resemblance to a door lock installing jig.

I'm with Aunt Phil on this one. Big hole/big bit for the cylinder (the part betwen the doorknobs), small hole/small bit for the latch assembly. The cylindrical object to the left of the jig should be a quick change device that chucks into a drill, so you can switch easily between the big and small bits.

Looks more like a jig for drilling doors to take Yale type cylinders - note, two bits included in the box - why would they be there if it is a sharpening jig??

Absolutely a door lock jig.  Grew up using a Sargent one.   Great time savers from before the days of premachined doorsAlmost all of the lock companies made their version of it.  I may have a kwikset one in my auction finds.  The round cylinders with the rectangles are driven into the edge of the door to mortise the strike plates, usually still require a little chisel cleanup.

Guess thats why on the side of the jig it says Schlage.

The paper is what threw me off, it talks about sharpening bits.

It has 4 bits with it.

Nowhere near in the same league!  Kwikset still produces them at $468:

Yeah, I have used them.  I bought a Kwickset back in the '80s, when they were only $150.  Couldn't find it in my storage when I needed
it, but found a no-name kit on eBay a couple of months ago and snapped it up for $50 including shipping.  It's a great set up!

I'm liking my $50 (shipped) no name (in the original wooden carrying case!) better and better.
