DIY Binding Drill Jig (printable)

[MottN]

hmmm...are you talking about the lateral ruler markings like on the binding freedom templates?

As is, If I want to double check CL I put down a piece of masking tape and mark each notch. Then measure from each side of the ski for the end marks to verify its centered, and then double check with a straightedge that all marks are in-line.

Yes those rulers from binding freedom. It's just a suggestion that I thought would make a nice addition.

Just bumping this because I'm printing some templates in anticipation of mounting some fucking skis...

MottN posted a few updates. I'm a big fan of the new friction fit toe and heel stops.

MottN jig is life changing. I don’t have access to a 3D printer so I ordered a jig and various plates from the man himself. Mounted 4 pairs of skis thus far, and each have been a dream.

Thanks fleaches! Yeah I'm not sure why I hadn't done that before...Having the stops easily removable makes it nicer to store if you have a bunch of plates and easier to clamp in place while drilling if desired.

Glad its working for you!


To anyone else interested in this, 3d printers are wonderful tools and you can do a lot with them provided you have the time/space/money. If you're remotely interested in 3D printing I'd encourage you to look into it - there are lots of good options for affordable machines.
...And if you're not interested, I'm still happy to make these for people

Bump. Mounted my first pair or skis on this. Such a game changer. Can buy swiss cheese skis on the cheap now.

Thanks so much for the assistance MottN. Great product.

Got myself a bambu P1S w/ AMS this winter and re-printed the updated jig + some more templates. The lower + beefed up end clamps are super nice. Thinking a cool project would be a more secure mechanism for keeping the templates in place along the rails. May start with a few extra sliding bits, but thinking about how the sliders could lock the template in/keep it from falling out the bottom. Thanks again MottN, can't say enough how huge of a time saver this has been for me!

Originally I designed it with the templates unconstrained vertically so that they can directly contact the ski and accomidate for rocker/camber rather than floating above the surface. I supposed there are ways to let them still float vertically without falling out easily.

Sure, happy to help!
