Some advantages of modern tools

[simso]

Had a guitar neck on todays schedule with severly warped neck, truss rod max engaged I measured relief of 93 thou and a left hand twist happening.

After discussion with customer, we are going the dual carbon fibre stiffeners.

I took some photos showing the removal of a fretboard with cnc router being used with a hand wheel rather than being programmed.

Nibbled that board away and left the binding still fitted, now you have to admit that is super cool.

I want to see the video of that.

Cool indeed.

Now that's where the fun is ,you could have run a pocket tool path with a taper on it .

[simso]

Yep agreed.

My cnc router has a hand wheel fitted for doing manual cutting.

I nibbled that little fretboard away until I hit neck wood, not having to remove the binding is pretty awesome, took about 2 hrs of manual controlling.

Dropped a freshly made fretboard back into it today.

Inlays next week, frets, a smidgen of clear lacquer and job done

What I like the most Mr Simso is that you breath life back into an Instrument and put a smile on someones face ,that's where the reward is for me .

And you get paid to do sometime you love to do.
