A short demonstration of cutting fret slots using the StewMac fret scale and thin kerf blade on a table saw. I had some questions on this process and I figure if a picture is worth a 1000 words a video is worth way more than I want to type.

    I can't remember the exact height around .053". I measured the tang of the fret with a caliper and transferred that to blade height above the sled plus a couple thou for sanding.

    Keep in mind that this method cuts the slots while the fingerboard is still flat. After I radius the fingerboard I go back by hand and cut the slots to final depth.

  • Thanks for posting this. How high did you set the blade above the sled and what did you use to measure it's height?
