The Bridge Compensator™ Vise holds an acoustic guitar bridge precisely and safely while you cut the saddle slot with an end mill in your drill press. Simply use a shim cut to the proper angle to index the bridge position. The long base allows a safe and easy feed, and the micro-adjustable fence on the Luthier's Friend™ Sanding Station lets you set up perfectly. The Bridge Compensator Vise gives you repeatable accuracy for small production runs.
