Jigs-hold , locate & guide the workpiece.

Fixture-only hold & locate the workpiece.

Jigs are used for holding & guiding the tool in drilling, reaming & tapping operation.

Fixture are used for holding the work in milling, grinding, planning & turning operation.

The main purpose of a fixture is to locate and in some cases hold a workpiece during either a machining operation or some other industrial process.

A jig differs from a fixture in that it guides the tool to its correct position in addition to locating and supporting the workpiece.

A fixture differs from a jig in that when a fixture is used, the tool must move relative to the workpiece; a jig moves the piece while the tool remains stationary.

A jig is a type of custom-made tool used to control the location and/or motion of another tool.

A fixture supports the work piece where as the jig supports the work piece and also guides the cutting tool so option A is correct.

Some times both jig & fixture guides tool but most of the cases.

Jig guides the tool & fixture holds work piece.

The jig is to guide the tool but fixture can be used for fixing /holding the workpiece/tool.

A jig supports the tool whereas the fixture guides the tool. So answer A is wrong.

Use of jig for holding and supporting or guide.

Use of fixture only for holding.
