JIG : these 3 letters stand for Joint Inspection Group.

Here are some of the most common types of jigs:

• Template Jig. Template jigs are the most common and basic type of jigs used to produce and machine a small number of simple parts.
• Plate Jigs.
• Channel Jigs.
• Leaf Jigs.
• Box Jigs.
• Ring Jigs.
• Diameter Jig.

Jigs are used in uni-dimensional machining processes like drilling, tapping, and reaming. Jigs are indispensable in the machining process. They help guide and hold workpieces to a specified location, thus ensuring that any drilling or tapping will be accurate.

An example of a jig is when a key is duplicated; the original is used as a jig so the new key can have the same path as the old one. Since the advent of automation and computer numerical controlled (CNC) machines, jigs are often not required because the tool path is digitally programmed and stored in memory.

Template jigs are the most common and basic type of jigs used to produce and machine a small number of simple parts. They're mostly used as layout guides for locating holes and contours and are usually secured to the workpiece or fixture via thumb screws or clamped directly with C-clamps.

A jig is a lively, festive kind of dance. When you do a jig, you spend a lot of time hopping, kicking, and shuffling your feet. The jig is mainly associated with Ireland and Scotland, and it plays a big role in both traditional Irish dancing and Scottish country dancing.

A jig is a special device that holds, supports, or is placed on a part to be machined. It also used to guides the cutting tool as per the operation is performed. A fixture is a production tool that locates, holds, and supports the workpiece securely but it is not used to guide the tool during operation.

Jigs are essential tools in manufacturing and machining, designed to guide and hold workpieces during various operations. They come in several types, each tailored to specific tasks. Fixture jigs secure workpieces in a fixed position for tasks like drilling or welding.
