Works!
I shifted from the directions in that I did not use a #2 center drill which will cost you another 35 bucks. I used the 5/32" carbide bit in a drill press, used some cutting oil, and slowly cut the first hole. Cleaned the holes of metal chips, left the frame on the jig, and then cut the second hole by pressing the carbide bit thru the first hole, then thru the jig, and simply cut the second hole. No problems at all and no need to turn the frame over to do the opposite side. As long as your bit clears the jig on all sides you will cut perfect matching holes. Must have if building bobtail 1911s.
Ed Brown Bobtail Jig
This jig is very easy to use and is very basic. A drill press makes it almost impossible to make a mistake.

This is a great product! used many times
I have used this Ed Brown installation jig many time with great ease, the finished product is great looking and can't stress enough how easy it is to use , you will love the Looks if you carry a Commander + make a big difference when on your hip carry mode.Govt Models Look just as good and do make a Big difference when carrying.I do give this a 5 star.for how easy it is to use and the its looks.
Useless
absolutely useless, you spend $50 on something that does not give you any benefit at all, since you can use the actual part to be installed as reference. And using this jig to hold the frame while drilling, as depicted in one of the other comments, sure makes it difficult to line up frame true 90 degrees to drill. Don't waste your money on this.
