Unrealize Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Hey. I have just a quick question, I did a search here, but I found nothing that could answer my question. I have the Stewmac miterbox and saw for my fret slotting, however, they don't offer that many scales in their templates. LMI have quite a lot more to chose from, but I'm not interested in banging out another 300+$ for their slotting system. Do the LMI templates work on the StewMac miter box..? cheers!

orgmorg Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Probably.. the only issue would really be the size of the indexing pin. I have the Lmii setup, so if you could give me a good measurement of the end of your index pin ( the part that fits into the slot on the template ) I could see if they were the same or not.

Unrealize Posted January 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Thanks a lot, I'll measure it up as soon as I get home from work... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattia Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I don't think so...I managed to get a dude (locally) with access to a CNC laser cutter to make me a bunch of non-standard templates for my StewMac mitre box for trade in wood and some guitar parts. Nice, thick, stainless steel templates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanb Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 (edited) No, they are definitely not compatible. I wanted to do the same thing, but the LMI templates do not fit the StewMac box. You could make a rig that will work with both, but that one won't. I think they may both work on the LMI box (with the question of the index pin size), but not the other way -- the StewMac box is too narrow.

Unrealize Posted January 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me a second, I mean, who makes something compatible these days...? I have a friend working at a place with a cnc machine, I'll have a talk with him and see if he could be able to help me out.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orgmorg Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Ah... I guess since I made my own tablesaw jig for mine, I hadn't even considered the size of the box. Or maybe I was just thinking outside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
