Last Saturday I was at an auction and was looking at the tools which happenedto be inside . Another person was also broswing. The owner had made a numberof wodden jigs for his table saw ranging from a miter sled to a tennoning jig. Just to make conversation with the other person, I stated that the owner andbeen rather prolific and had a lot of jigs to go with the saw. The person gaveme that knowing look and said "their fixtures - you need to be careful and notcall fixtures jigs" Well, my response was I'm a bit of a newbie at his (whichis true) but everything I have read and heard refers to these things as jigs -fixtures is a new way of naming these things"Well, my silly question is, "Are these jigs or fixtures?"Michael

What's in a name? Does it really matter? Whatever these devices are, will it change their function or productivity?
