A jig's primary purpose is to provide repeatability, accuracy, and interchangeability in the manufacturing of products. A jig is often confused with a fixture; a fixture holds the work in a fixed location. A device that does both functions (holding the work and guiding a tool) is called a jig. An example of a jig is when a key is duplicated; the original is used as a jig so the new key can have the same path as the old one.
