    I here what your saying. That crossed my mind when i started this project That did cross my mind when i started this project, but i didn't do it because i wanted my bridge angle to match the angle of the Bridge pickup. I had considered using single bridge tuners mounted to the body and a cam bridge mounted further back. but if you would like to mach up a drawing of what you mine i'd be happy to consider it. Thanks again BM

    Here's a couple pics of my Mill and Lathe.

    I'll try to remember to grab a pic or 2 tomorrow mid milling. I work with mostly Aluminum, Stainless steel and Delrin. Aluminum is only sticky when over heated, meaning you are using the wrong speed and feed rate for the end mill to flute.

    Ok he's where I am as of 5:30am this morning. Here I got the cam pivot holes drilled and tapped along with the cam locking screw and the saddle pivots as well. I also mounted the Kahler cam in the bridge for the pics. In these pics I have got the bottom part of the 2 piece cam partially made and installed for the pics. I also got some for the contouring done on the bridge base. It's hard to see in the pics though. Tomorrow i will finish the bottom part of the cam by radiusing it.

    The mill is a FiRST 10 x 50 5HP variable speed with auto feed and digital read out. I'm also using the Lathe on this project for the fine tuning thumb screws. I got some more pics to post up today. I will do that after I eat my dinner.

    I was thinking of making a few more if there is a demand for them. I'd wait to see how mine turns out though. I should have the main body finished this week along with the cam section.

    I'm new here, but thought I'd share with you my build I'm just starting. I'm building a 6 string Multi-Scale with a tremolo. I'm using the Kahler Cam tremolo system to machine my own bridge up for this project. here's what I have so far. 3/8" 6063 Aluminum. I'm using 6063 because it is heat treatable. It will be almost as hard as mild steel when finished. Started work Coming along well
