Fret Slotting Miter Box

Great jig, built well and works as advertised.

I'm using this with the fret rules that lock into place, and the combo is incredible - dead accurate, and the ball-bearing roller guides are really smooth. Once you have this set up for slot depth, everything goes really quickly - my first fingerboard, a 24-fret bass, took less than 25 minutes. I ordered mine with the Japanese fret saw, which is awesome too.

Wow! Great tool. I am a Gunsmith by trade specializing in historical recreations and I am anal about tools. Stewmac out did themselves with this one. Quality can't be beat!

I bought it because I didn't find something like it but the price is too high.

Honestly, the best deal on Stewmac are the pre-slotted fretboards. But if you're like me and desire to select your own materials, than you can't beat the precision of this marvelous product.

Great way to cut fret slots. Very accurate and easy to use. Make sure the teeth of the saw don't get caught by the brass when moving the saw upwards.

It's all good top quality stuff. Well finished and easy to use. I like the way the Fret Scale clicks into position positively and firmly, without a hint of slop. A well done piece of engineering on this small detail.

I wondered whether I was being extravagant buying this tool but its worth every cent. Makes a tedious job much easier and you're less likely to ruin a whole fretboard when one slot ends up wrong.

This is a relatively expensive, but astonishingly well-made and useful piece of kit for any guitar-maker. Keeps the saw square, upright and true, gives consistent depths across all the frets and most importantly, makes it impossible to cut a slot out of position. Simple to use, I slotted a perfect fretboard first time. You could waste a great deal of ebony and rosewood without one of these.

Does exactly what stew mac says it does.
