circular saw is probably a better way to go but like many luthiers I havent got one . The only place I know that can supply the thin kerf blade is stewart mac . By the time Ive added on import tax etc that would be 70 pounds . The thing that would worry me is how long the blade would last cutting ebony. At least with the bandsaw method the blades are cheap.

My least favorite part of the building experience just got easier. Thank you trideciple!

How in the world do you keep the cut perfectly straight?

My first thought when i saw the title of this video was 'you brave person, that's a bit risky'
but once i'd seen what you've done here I can see that you've removed all the risk, and I must say this is rather genius, and will no doubt speed up the process of cutting fret slots.

Sir, that is brilliant! That's all I can say, great job!

Its a great idea if you have a bandsaw with a big enough throat. Still its way better than cutting them by hand even if you have to do a few in the middle by hand.

@dustmonkey100 I just finished slotting two Maple fretboards. My saw doesn't have enough throat either. I just flip the board around and I can get all of the slots. This approach only works with a 14" saw. The blades aren't available for other saws unless you have them custom made, which isn't that big of a deal.
