Forgive me fellas.

But I have been out of the loop for a few years.

Are there no longer any Body Cutting Jigs offered?

I recall there being someone that was releasing one right about when I stopped messing with pine cars for my kids. Star Cars or something like that. I can not seem to find it.

I was hoping to find something I could let my son work on cutting the body himself without too much concern with what tool he is using or potentially having to toss a block out of error.

Thanks

You could try messaging Skywalker Racing on this forum?

Before I upgraded my kids to a hobby grade CNC machine, I had them use a cross sliding vice mounted on a drill press with great success. Trace the weight pockets and other cavities onto a block, set the proper depth and let them go to town. No concerns of blood or flying blocks :-)

Yep, even just the basic "3018" style CNC engraver/carver machine works great for cutting bodies and once you get the program dialed in, it's very repeatable. The kids won't really get "hands on" with the tools though. But it might be fun for the adult! lol
