It took me a long time to work out how to make acoustic necks on the CNC. I use Aspire, not VCarve. Using the method I developed, you need a minimum of about 6″ of…

Michael, no I don’t. I’m using the CNC for Luthiers course on Robbie O’Briens site. Bob Mizek presented the course. There is a section on there about doing fretboards. It gives all the info I need I just need to follow instructions. Can you tell me what gadget you’re talking about? I would like to get to the point where I can actually…

I’m glad you got it going Ray.
Do you have the fretboard gadget for VCarve? A very good tool.

I want to thank both of you for your help. A rookie mistake. I had set a previous cut of the fretboard outline to ‘outside’ and forgot that it carried over to the next toolpath. I redid it and set it to ‘on the line’ and its all good now. Thanks again

I’m fairly new to CNC and am attempting to set up for a fretboard carve. I’m using a one year old ShopBot Desktop Max. This is the first I’ve found a problem like this. I made some practice blanks and thought I had everything the way I wanted it until I measured me fret distances. Using calipers from the nut to the center for the first… Read more

Reply to Getting perfectly flat without a jointer
Good advice, as usual. I actually went back and tried to re-level the planer’s infeed and outfeed foldable ledges — very hard to do perfectly because they are fundamentally at slightly different planes. But I made a few cuts and it seems better already. Will try to fine tune it and see if I end up with something good.
I also wonder if I’m…

That could work but it would make an insane amount of dust, you definitely want a cover on it and dust collection.
And for doing guitar tops and thinning stuff no way a drill will be enough power. You want a monster motor. Mine blows my fuse all the time. To sand 15″ of wood at one time takes a lot of power.
But in principle it could work. …
