OVERVIEW
Designed for precision and durability, our robustly constructed jig includes fret scale templates and a fretsaw ensuring that you have everything needed for slotting professional-grade fretboards. The jig is sturdily designed and engineered for secure use in a bench vice, providing stability at a comfortable working height for achieving consistent and accurate fret slots.
 
The system is easy to set up and use. Please visit the Fret Slotting Information page which provides guidelines on using the jig.
 
INCLUDED:
Hardwood Fret Slotting Jig Base - 525mm long x 70mm wide .
Precision Fret Scale Template Set (Over 20 Inch & Metric sizes in stock).
Fretsaw 0.023" kerf (0.6mm) - 2.5mm Fixed Depth.
Datum Fret Slot Locator.
5x Fretsaw Blades.
 
HARDWOOD SLOTTING JIG BASE
The jig base is made from 20mm thick ash and is fitted with a ribbed rubber covering for the fretboard to rest on. The rubber allows for a degree of variation in the board surface and provides friction against the cutting action.
 
For stability, we recommend that the jig is clamped in a vice. The solid jig base will facilitate this without damage or crushing of the jig sides. This will also permit soft clamps to be used over the board when cutting the slots.
 
INCLUDED FIXED DEPTH FRETSAW
The standard jig is supplied with a 2.5mm depth fretsaw . This can be substituted for an alternative depth if preferred. (Sanding the board radius will reduce the fret slot depth at the edges of the fretboard and the 2.5mm saw leaves sufficient depth of slot for the majority of fret wire sizes). 
 
A popular alternative is a 2.0mm saw which is suitable for flatter boards typically 15" radius and above. Please leave a note at the checkout if you would prefer the 2.0mm alternative.
 
5 blades are included with the saw. Each kerf is precision set to 0.6mm and 100% inspected in our workshop. 
 
FRETBOARD BLANK CONDITION
Please note that in order for the jig to function correctly, the fretboard must be flat prior to slotting. If the fretboard already has a radius, the saw will not locate properly for marking the slots and may also cut oversize slots.
 
Additional Templates are also available.
 
Spare Blades can also be purchased from the web store.
