hi chris, this isnt a CNC, its a duplicating router, they are useful for some things, especially rough carving of archtop plates, mandolins etc...... in fact PRS used a duplicarver up until about 1990 i think for all production, if you are interested in a real CNC then go to WWW.CNCZONE.COM they have info and plans for building your own CNC router, |

PaddyD, Thanks for the correction and CNC link. No, I'm not really interested in real CNC, I've already spent too much of my life struggling with computers. I just think this rig looks usefull, and wonder if it's worth $26 for the plans. The seller's been on eBay since '99, and has a perfect feedback score, so I might 'take a shot'. I have several Martin factory pre-carved necks to use as master/models to 'duplicate'. If the thing works as advertised, it will certainly save alot of labor, and it looks like an interesting project to build. CrowDuck |

I bought the plans some time ago and have never gotten around to the project. |

Don, Thanks!! Good looking site. By Gosh, I think I'm going to build one. Spring is 'right around the corner', at least it is here in Calif., today is 70 deg., and this looks like a great project to start the year off. Looking through my stash of pre-carved necks, I think I've got pre-carved Martin 12 & 14 fret, peg & slot head, Martin 12 string, Garrison 14 fret peg head, 2 banjo, Johnson reso biscuit & tricone. If it works well, I might just start selling the things, and put my aimless 21 year old son to work making them. CrowDuck |
