I built a compound radius fixture that cuts all 24 fret slots and surfaces the compound radius all at the same time. Compound 7" to 14". It works well on gaboon ebony and seasoned indian rosewood. I have never tried any other wood. It makes a perfectly level fretboard and when the frets are pressed in with the same amount of presure on my home made fret press the neck is finished with no fret work needed. If I can figure out how to post the drawings, I will.

I am wondering how many have heard of Stradivarius's harmonic formula for figuring out fret spacings for any scale you desire?
The number is 5.612568731829 %
Let's say you want to fret a 36 inch bass scale. 5.612568731829 % of 36" is your first fret spacing then you deduct 5.612568731829 % off from then on to make as many frets as you want. This formula is perfect and will make perfect fret spacings.
