Vernier Depth Gauge, Mitutoyo 527-104, 600mm scale:Originally Posted by gavinturner
I'd site the cross bit as the datum for the sliding bed on my jig and the you can manually adjust to get what ever Fret Spacing you need.
But given what even a cheap vernier gauge costs ($500+), I'm just going to buy some of the precut templates from StewMac and adapt my jig to suit. Its either that or sack up and just spend the money on the full kit.
I'm playing around with making a laminated Bolt on neck at the moment. Its essentially three slices of 1" square Rock maple titebonded together. It has highlighted a few things in technique I need to address (Trying to manually rip saw lengthways down something as hard as maple, leaves you with a LOT of planning and sanding to do. You'd really want access to a good table or Band saw, with a true and stable fence, and maybe a Jointer.
I am going to ask Santa for a table saw. I'll let you know how I go.
