from 130 reviewsAbsolutely excellent quality and craftsmanship. Made my job a 100 times easier.
This radius jig is amazing, it had my fretboard accurately radiuses in no time flat. I also bought the matching radius sanding form and it made short work of finish sanding the fretboard. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!
I’ve used this tool numerous times with great results. It’s paid for itself many times over.
Perfect fit, quick shipping, would recommend
High quality, accurate luthiery tools. I will definitely order more.
Just received my new radius jig. Built the base as per the instructions on this website. The jig works perfectly. I radiused 2 fret boards, Ebony and Rosewood. So much easier than the usual sanding process. No dust just wood flakes. I recommend this product to any serious Luthier.
Great first experience with the fretboard radius jig: I used the jig to refine a fretboard i had hand radiused - it was a little out in curvature and flatness - not much but enough. The fretboard was already tapered and bound so i added sacrificial strips of wood to the edges to avoid tear out. The jig worked great!
Great product! Makes life easier and well built!
Easy to navigate store. Products are exactly as advertised. Thanks
Excellent tool at a great price point. Extremely accurate and easy to use and setup. Thanks!!
I'm a big fan of things that work. This absolutely works brilliantly! Bang for the buck you can't beat it. This also applies to the Nut and Saddle sander. I bought that on a whim a year or so ago and it saves me hours of time and allows for micro adjustments to my setups. Great job once again!
