Lots of rain here! You can hear it in the background. That's not white noise, more like wet noise.

Nice one Chris. I've been mulling over something similar but have to upgrade my sander first to a longer bed model. Or perhaps I can just extend the arm and use longer belts.

If I had $850 laying around and room in the shop I'd get a large edge sander and go with the Fox setup. But don't so I had to go this route.

Looks good Chris.
I'm interested to know where do I get to see the Fox set up you mentioned?
I just bought a large edge sander and would like to know how its done that way as well.

There's also the old lmii jig, i built myself one a couple of years back out of t-slot extruded aluminium, I adjusted mine to make it usable with compound fretboards, cost me about $250 of parts, a lot cheaper than the Grizzly version, and that one is not adjustable as much as mine. You do a compound radius by adjusting the height differently on both sidesauscab wrote:Looks good Chris.

Here's pics in action, you can see how low the bars are on this one, that was a 7.25" radius

Thanks Chris, that's a good thread.
Phil, nice one as well. Where do you get that type of Aluminium extrusion?
And what's the hinged bit of wood dragging on the belt for?

Its for clamping angled headstock necks, there's quite a few makers of these extrusions, 8020 is the most famous brand, Bosch-Rexroth and some others make it too. I bought mine here
http://www.amesystem.com.au
Check out their 'profile system' link to see all the bits and bobs available, they're priced really well compared to the sturdier 8020 brand who's a lot more exy. I already had expenrience with these guys before i build the jig as I used the same compnents to build my CNC a year or so before that. I pretty much designed the sanding jig and ordered the pieces pre-cut to lenght, all that was left when it got here was to drill and tap holes in the locations needed, a nice afternoon project and an invaluable tool for guitar building.

Phil, is that an inverted pin router in the back?
