The material used in jigs and fixtures impacts their durability, weight, precision, and resistance to wear. The best material depends on your intended use: metal options like aluminum or steel provide strength and longevity, while reinforced plastics or phenolic materials offer a balance of strength and lighter weight. For instance, the Woodpeckers SPT2 Template uses solid phenolic for stability and easy reading, while Woodpeckers SS4K-FL StealthStop 4 Foot Kit employs glass-reinforced polycarbonate and brass for a rust-resistant, low-maintenance solution. Material choices like those found in Woodpeckers STFSTOP Super Track Flip Stop (machined aluminum) provide a rigid and precise tool. With a variety of materials available, you can select the right balance of weight, strength, and cost for your application.
