    DB's binding jig

    Why pay $300 plus for a binding jig when you can make one yourself?

    Sure, it ain't pretty but it will do the job

    nice one DB, so the idea is to feed the body into the router and rotate the body ? Is there enough clearance to do the binding channel around cutaways and hard to get places ?
    Why do you need so much height adjustment with your nicely cut slots in the RHS beam ? I assume you drop the router down so it sits at the body height ?

    Yes, you feed the body around and there is enough clearance for cutaways..

    The extra height is for working on Acoustic Guitars.

    no worries DB I thought that was the case for higher body axes/bass's.
    Nice one, must have been hard work cutting the height adjustment slots, is that RHS about 2-3mm thick ?
