The Miters Touch - For Bridges
The latest addition to The Miters Touch Series, this time for bridges. “Grip it. Rip it. Flip it. And Rip it again…”
This tool is used to hold bridges in a vise in a milling machine to help miter them with precision. The unique flipping mechanism rotates the entire upper half of the tool on center only requiring a single vise setup for both cuts. It’s also small enough that the top half of the tool can be removed and checked in the frame without loosing the base alignment.

Tons of features on this simple little solution:
Precision alignment dowel keep the tool square after each flip.
Low profile thumb knobs with hex tightening to hold everything tight in each position.
FARR Signature “Get A Grip” Plates to protect the tool during repeated clamping.
FARR “Mermaid Scales” Teal Top cap with hex size etching for a friendly reminder.
Precision ground guide rods into precision press fit bushing for a smooth and rigid clamp.
An open top center for easy center finding with a pointer tool in the mill.
Steel threaded inserts in the body of the tool to handle the repeated thread forces.
For best results use a fine tooth 10TPI hole saw like these from metal-guru.com. If you are using anything else there are no guarantees but ease into it especially at the beginning of the cut.
