How to radius a fretboard without a CNC machine - G&W - Fretboard Radius Jig V4

[@goopee76]

Good jig but if the sled is a true 12" radius here, the fretboard will be smaller by how much you lower the bit

[@GWLuthierSupplies]

The sides are compensated to give the correct radius, which is calculated for a 6.3mm thickness over a 20mm block. Of course, if you lower the bit more than that it will give a slightly different radius. But this slight difference can be easily adjusted when sanding with a radius sanding block.

Not sure how many other people would use it, but a larger version of the would be helpful for the guitars I build, where I radius the front and back similar to an arch top.

[@DavidRavenMoon]

I do that and built my own

[@esteban31000]

Hi, very cool delivery. But I just guessing, what bit do you use to shape the fretboard? Any reference on your site?You should link the bit with your jig ,)

[@juanokita4401]

Looks like 1/2in flat Try one

[@jeffreymckeown]

[@rosettenzerrer]

Sorry, we are under bot attack, so we had to shut server down. we hope we can get back tomorrow.

[@jmd182]

What bit is recommended? Just bought this set up

[@GWLuthierSupplies]

We usually recommend a 12.7mm diameter cutter. The height is dictated by your router and the height of the piece you are working on.

[@juanokita4401]

I goings to make one all alum and acrilic

[@k_aos3224]

I love this video! Is there any limitation to the overall height of a fretboard already mounted on the neck? Obviously it can fit under the jig. If I did the math correctly, I would think that the radius remains the same, regardless of the distance in which the fretboard is positioned in relation to the sled? Thanx in advance and cheers from Germany!

[@GWLuthierSupplies]

Hello there! The jig was developed considering the 20mm of the aluminium base (where the fretboard sits) in order to end up with the best rough radius and a thickness of 6.5mm at the fretboard center. You can adjust your process considering this would be the perfect scenario. Thanks!

[@k_aos3224]

@@GWLuthierSupplies excellent! thanx so much for your fast reply!

[@gbish6906]

Hi, what are the dimensions of the aluminum base? Also, are you guys working on a V5 of this jig?
