Aligns pegholes for trouble-free tuning

Mandolin Peghead Drill Jig

When mandolin tuners are not installed precisely, they do not perform well. Even a slight misalignment in drilling the holes will prevent the string posts from turning freely.

Our jig for drilling 1/4"-diameter pegholes ensures the correct positioning of the string posts, and keeps your hand drill properly aligned. This is essential for new instruments and also for redrilling existing pegheads.

Instructions
 
#5007 has standard 29/32" (.906") spacing, and matches Waverly, Elite, Schaller, Gotoh and Grover tuning machines.
#5008 has early 1920s Loar spacing (.931"), and works for #6051 Waverly machines.

Two steel alignment pins are included to hold the jig in position. Clamp the jig in position, drill the first hole, and insert a pin. Drill the next hole at the opposite end of the row, and insert the other pin. Now the jig is securely pinned in place as you drill the remaining two holes, and all four will be perfectly located. Instructions included.
