The jig fits the Precision Router Base from Stewmac and you need to adjust some measurements if you have another Router Base.

The music is me playing on my homemade Baritone Guitar.

I can't seem to find anyone that talks about the actual angle as best I can figure it's about 4 to 6°

Hi Glen. The angle can vary from guitar to guitar and I find it difficult (and not precise enough) to calculate it. So I find the perfect intonation point for the two outer strings and draw a line. When the saddle is in place I fine tune the intonation for every string.

Hello, I've been wanting to do something handmade for a long time to be able to groove, I was able to find this video and it was very helpful. Consult, what size drill is used for the slot? 3mm flat or another measure?

@AndersWestfall 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Christian. Yes, i used a 3mm carbide bit in this video. I sometimes also use a slightly smaller bit (2.38mm / 3/32"). It depends how thick a saddle you want. The most important is that it has a flat top, so the bottom of the slot is dead flat and has full contact to the saddle.
