Help with .stl file

Hi Eddy

Thanks once again, I consider that a fortunate escape for me, they get a bit precious over their bits of wood :friendly_wink:

I bet one of them will want a flat one anyway

Some people also CNC cut the fret slots but I use these;

I have been CNC cutting the slots, allows cutting on the radius and also somebody wanted blind slots, a bit cross your fingers with .5 mm cutters in hard wood

So what have you been using so far for the open slots ?

Ive been using 0.5 mm slot drills, I generate the code using Fretboard.exe which is in imperial, so generate the code and scale it in Discriminator to suit the Estlcam controller.

Cut a test one in a bit of pine, :triumphant:

Looks okay, did you check both ends with radius gauges ?

I'm not a fan of marker dots these days, I just use side dots and one at the 12th fret as a logo.

What's the difference between a scalloped board and just using tall frets ? of course with the cnc it's no more difficult to make.

Also don't be worried about asking me to process more dxf files, if it's to do with guitars I'm on board.

Never had any experience with guitar making until now, have got dragged into it and actually finding it very interesting :biggrin:

The guitar lads soon get out their guages etc whenever I cut something for them. as a non player I also wondered about tall frets.

Thanks for the offer of help with files, I may well be asked for something different.
