WigJig Centaur LiteWire Designing JigThe transparent WigJig Centaur is a merger of two styles of jigs just likethe Centaur of Greek Mythology is a merger of a man and a horse. TheCentaur combines the round hole pattern of the WigJig Cyclops with thesquare hole pattern of the WigJig Delphi to provide the most capabilityfor designing jewelry of any jig. You can make wire components notpossible on any other single jig. The Centaur has smaller pegs and closerhole spacing of the WigJig Cyclops and Delphi so it is excellent for makingjewelry wire components that are smaller and more delicate.
