Are you near ft worth? I have an SLR dimple jig thats worked great, i can help dimple it if needed.
I appreciate the offer but I’m in the Houston area. I’ve seen the SLR and KAK dimpling jigs online. Is there any other or one particular brand that is better or recommended as tool investment vs a one time use?

The SLR has worked for me, ive used it probably 15 times at this point.

I think a set of good drill bits and maybe a vise or drill press is more important than a better jig.


I do it with a handheld drill and clamp the jig in a vise but a press is probably ideal.
