Viper/Gretan jig clone. I have other tools for the same purpose and don't need it.

May I ask a dumb question? What does it do?

It’s a fixture used to align a barrel or action to facilitate machining

Did you buy a Tru-Bore system? You did a nice job making this truing jig.

No TBAS for me. Built a smaller jig with inserts for different types of job

I'm thinking of making one that mounts directly to the spindle.

Nice. Getting that taper for the spindle nose is a little intimidating for me.

 

[PhilKeil]

I have not thought of that. Very clever

Care to show a pic of the inserts? Nice jig by the way!

When I made this direct mount spider, I first turned a male piece with that taper so I could use it as a gauge to test-fit the female taper as I snuck up on it, etc.

Use the taper on the machine and indicator to set your compound angle. Mic the diameters and start cutting. I pulled it off with stock on and used some match bluing to fine fit. I think in end...Emory did the trick. It is tricky, but one step at a time and you can do it. Biggest thing for me was getting the metric tooling rounded up for cam lock pins. I had some stuff and had to order a tap...fine pitch metric I think. I grabbed the studs from an old chuck I had laying around.

FYI: The spindles have an ISO standard... doc attached for the engineeringly-minded folks

It's not as hard as it looks. You posted the specs already. You can leave the backplate you're making in the chuck, and remove the whole assembly from the spindle to check fit.

As Ridgeway stated, indicate off your spindle nose to get your taper. Make sure you're dead nuts elevation wise or it will throw off the angle.

Also a pretty good walkthrough here;
