simon1138 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Hello, I was watching a video of Mark Bailey guitars on youtube and he mentioned a "fret scale ruler". It was like a steel ruler but with fret distances marked on it. It did not have notches, so was not a template but it did have markings. I posted a comment asking about the "fret scale ruler", but I think may have been deleted. It looked fairly simple and I don't think that it was a StewMac or expensive brand. Does anyone know of "fret scale ruler" that just has the markings for different fret scales? Failing that, has anyone ever tried using a notched level as a way of template. I was thinking that if the notches were accurately spaced I could use that as a template with a table saw to cut the frets? I know the notches are a thick space but on some setups they use a pin that fits into the notch on the template. I was thinking along the same lines. Thanks Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottR Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 Stew Mac has an online fret scale finder that will allow you to make a fret ruler of any scale. Quite a few folks use the notched template and pin method on table saws or radial arm saws for cutting fret slots. SR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
