I have been thinking through this jig for a while and have nearly solved the process. I thought you may have some interest so here are the images. I have yet to complete the volute on a finished neck with this jig but I have 90% iron out all the bugs save the angle for the volute cheeks which seems to be just a smidgen less than 45 degrees. I nthink I have this one ion the bag if I put angled foot of about 3-4 degrees on the bottom.

Please note that you would need to do two passes: one with the straight cutter and then the v cutter.

Hi Allen,
A foot on the base of the router to enable the router to lean over a litttle more. Your will notice that the top of the volute in the image was not machined by the cutter. Of course putting a foot on the router will swing the bottom of the cutter out a little however as the cutter crosses the centreline this should not be a problem.
