Fret Slotting Miter Box

Our luthier's miter box has been made especially for use with our Fret Saw and our Fret Scale Templates (it can also be used without the templates). Made of sturdy aluminum and brass, the miter box holds the saw blade perpendicular to the work, and is the right size for slotting any fingerboard up to 3" (76.20mm) wide.

Instructions
 
The depth of cut and blade guide gap are adjustable for smooth, accurate sawing. Mounting holes are provided to attach the miter box to your workbench. A special indexing pin in the side of the miter box is for use with our notched fret scale templates. They accurately position a fingerboard for sawing the fret slots in a variety of popular scales.

The miter box is 12" (304.80mm) long.

Need help calculating your fret locations?
Our online fret scale calculator can calculate any scale length you want to use. It will also give you accurate measurements for locating the bridge on your instrument.
