Looks great Pete. Sounds like it is cutting smoothly and almost effortlessly. I like you version. How do you adjust for blade height/depth of cut?

The blade support has slotted holes and I height adjust using 'slips'.

Hi Peter, Thanks for posting the Youtube link. I was wondering if you would mind posting a few pics of your great fretting setup for everyone to have a look at. I am sure that others would love to see it a bit better. It appears to be very simple along the lines of the Bridge city Jointmaster but simpler and certainly cheaper!
