Hi Mike,

The Tuck Jones drilling jig is a metal block that has holes to pass a bolt 
through.  A little nipple/zerk with a 1/16" hole in it screws through a hole 
in the block to both secure the bolt head and ensure the hole that is drilled 
in the bolt is in the correct place.  The jig is for a/f (SAE I guess) bolts 
only but the company is working on a more expensive jig that takes Metric 
bolts as well.  I can't see a way that the jig would drill a nut unless the 
nut was fastened onto a bolt (the bolt would also get a hole drilled in it)  
The company name is: Binyon Machine works, PO Box 94, 35084 Forest Court, 
Gualala, CA 95445-0094.

Hope this helps.

<<  Where did you get this jig ? I was thinking about buying the Eastwood 
 one but it appears to be a threaded block that you screw the bolt into and 
 drill.  Of course they don't list a BSF block, just SAE and Metric.  I 
 assume a real jig would not care about SAE/Metric/BSF threads and be 
 adjustable for size of bolt to a certain extent.  Also what about drilling 
 the nut, does this jig allow that.
