(see note below) The templates nave the position of the frets etched into them and a set of 1.6mm notches along the edge, which fit an index pin and are used to align the template for fast and accurate fret slotting. Table Saw Method - Attach a template to the back of the fingerboard, and saw each fret slot after locating the index pin. An index pin is not included, the smooth end of a 1/16" drill bit can be used as an index pin. A cross-cutting fence should be used on the table saw, with the index pin inserted in the fence. Mitre Box Method - Attach a template to the back of the fingerboard, and saw each fret slot after locating the index pin of the Fret Slotting Mitre Box. The templates are narrower than the width of the mitre box, so a packer should be used to make up the width and hold the template/fingerboard firmly in place.

These templates are precisely cut from durable Stainless Steel. They combine a fret scale rule and a notched template and are the most accurate way to slot a fingerboard.

The etched lines can be used to mark the fret positions for hand slotting with a saw.

The notched templates are used in our Fret Slotting Miter Box to create perfectly slotted fingerboards in a range of popular scale lengths.

The notches are also ideal for slotting a fingerboard on a table saw, in combination with our Fret Slotting Table Saw Blade, for fast and accurate slotting in larger quantities.

The template has holes in the positions of the dot inlays, for quick and easy marking of these holes for drilling into the fingerboard.
