Hi Kokelol,

I found your post while also looking for plans for the Potts! I liked the Forum so much I joined and this is my first post.

The Potts drill grinding jig was ( I am fairly sure ) described in the Model Engineer magazine along with a simple drilling spindle for a lathe cross slide which also bore the name Potts.

There is a drill jig listed in the plans service run by the publishers of the magazine and although it is a Potts, it is very similar and it was designed by a chap called Ian Bradley who I think also wrote under the pseudonym of Duplex.

Try this link anyway and see if that jig will do what you want:

Best of luck and let us know if you do come across the original thing.
