Rotating Chassis Jig
 

I built a jig for holding and rotating my chassis while working on it.

You will not believe how useful this thing was when doing everything from painting to welding to whatever.

I have made a silly video of it below:

Would highly recommend this if your at this stage and have an afternoon spare.

Nice work but....

Grand idea Jimbob and a cool video......;)

Keep it up.....Andrew

"The Rotating Chassis Master" I love it :D

if possible could you give me some dimensions.

cheers

very good you seem to have added quite alot of extra bracing to your chassis is there a particular reason for this?
Ray:)

I have seen chassis jigs made in a similar way, would make it a lot easier to weld up as non of that clambering malarky only to lean on a joint you just welded.....how many times and how many pairs of ovvies I went thru I dunno:(

I used to weld up 5mtr long stillages on a rotating jig, which after 45 mins of welding 6mm angle and 50x50x4 box would clamp it self around the jig. They used to make one hell of a bang as it hit the floor from 3ft up.
I would say if your planning on using one to finish weld a chassis I would make a removable flat base to clamp it to. Theres alot of unsupported weight in the middle of the chassis and don't forget that welds pull too no matter how careful you are.

I wouldn't clamp the chassis to weld it, it will move...:rolleyes:

And you think lifting a half welded chassis from the build table in to a rotating jig unsupported in the middle hanging by it's own weight will keep it straight?

I forgot, of course you are a clever sod and can weld every single joint while the chassis is sat flat on a table......:rolleyes:
