I built one like this a few weeks ago, too! I didn't tape the first board down very well and now it's firewood, but the two I've done since came out perfect! I've been searching for quite a while for a radius method that suits me, and I've finally found it. Anyone who hasn't built one of these machines needs to drop what they're doing and build one right now. Shout out to Todd for posting these drawings! |

Hope you are wearing a decent mask for that? I know people who have ebony allergies which flare up just touching it. Some kind of dust extraction will at least cut down on the mess. |

This attachment helps a lot with the mess. A box core router bit with a 1/2" shank works well to avoid chip out around the fret slots.
