    to get the correct curvature of the top of the nut ie a radius. Wider nuts to the left, narrower nuts to the right of the jig.
    DB for the prize do you mean a custom cut bone nut ? MOP might be a bit brittle and expensive !

    Cutting slots once the curve is done. Nut goes in vertically, moveable piece is an angle guide
