Kind of, it's all Siegmund welding fixtures. I looked at the cost of a pro frame jig and though £4k was a bit much! For that amount you can buy this table with a tool steel surface and all the fixtures and fittings.... And use it for loads more than just bike frames! I use it constantly every day at work, so it pays for itself eventually.
It's not a perfect set up yet and could do with a bit more work for bracing the rear axle, but it's very versatile and accurate and rigid. The big advantage is that running a Centreline for a frame is very easy, clamping tubes etc.
You just have to careful not to trap Swarf and things under the towers, otherwise they'll be wonky.
I suppose it would be worth a dedicated frame jig if making a frame per week - just for ease of set up. But this would only take an extra 30mins I reckon.
