bobothewizard Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Does anyone know if a mold is available to make some lead head tube jigs similar to the oldham tube jig head with the full wire weedguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Mine wasn't but is now. I taped a wire where I wanted the cable weed guard and put the mold in my shop vice. I closed and opened it a couple of time putting on lots of pressure. I took the wire out and added a bigger one. Repeating the process. When I had the indentation so the cable (Surflon and Sevelon 90#) would fit in the slot I poured up some heads. It works fine and has been going for about 10 years.

bobothewizard Posted August 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 jig man thanks for the reply. Any chance you could show a pic of that mold? I have a regular tube mold head and i might do the same that you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Hahn Posted August 17, 2015 Report Share Posted August 17, 2015 I took a small triangular file and made a slot to mold in a cable weedguard. Works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HookUp Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 I used a dremel and the smallest carbon bit I could find and a steel straigh edge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
