Do you mind me asking what size profiles you're getting and a price? I am just pricing up right now, having bought the kit from Ideas 2 Cycles (thanks for the link, @Rik_Van_Looy). The kit cost 99 euros, and is on its way. I am thinking of building the jig out of larger extrusions to make it stiffer, but costs quickly get big with the larger profiles.
I've been looking at extrusion prices on aluminium-profile.co.uk, they are about £11 per metre (40x40mm) or £19 per metre for 40x80mm.
If anyone has any experience with this kind of jig, or thoughts on what I should look out for, I would be grateful!
