What do you use.

I've been using 3/32" but I think I may want to change over to 1/8".

So far I've been using a table saw to cut the slot, but it seems I'm re-inventing the wheel with every bridge I do. I'd like to set up a jig to do it faster.

I also figure 1/8" would give me more room to adjust intonation.

Anyone using 5/32"?

Thoughts?

Ron...I built John How's jig for profiling and slotting saddles. It works beautifully. Check it out in the jig section.

I set it up for 1/8" saddles. Next step is to modify it so I can rout the saddle slot at an angle.

I also use a similar type of jig and it works like a charm!!
