A while back I posted some pics of a top rotating binding jig inspired by Dons jig with Daves Modification, I finally arrived at the one in the pics below, I have strengthen the carriage assembly, adapted it for use with a dewalt instead of the makita trimmer (I like my makita for many jobs, but prefer the guide bearing on the dewalt), and added a height adjuster to my work board to make leveling the guitar to the cutter easier.

I've been using this version in anger for around a month and it works great.

OK, that guitar holding system? Genius. I'm stealing that idea, if you don't mind...

Jump'in Jehoshaphat Batman, ever since Dave White posted his take on the Williams jig early in the year, this is sort of what I have had in mind but with a second smaller lazy sue bearing on top were you have the bushing, well done Russell I like it very much.

You Poms (and I mean that in a most endearing way) are really innovative with your jigs and guitar building. I to really intend to steal your body clamp idea, it will save a lot of fooling about when setting up, great post.

Thanks Mate

Cheers

Kim

Of Course I don't mind, copy away.

I tried a lazy susan bearing on the top swivel, but the one I had, had too much slop in it.

Dave

Thanks buddy

Hmm I guess I will have to be more choosy about which lazy Susan I pick Russ, but thanks for the tip

Cheers Kim

Very nice Russell. I use Don's jig and like it very much.
What you've done to the guitar holding part, though, is wonderful. I spend a lot of time trying to get the guitar parallel to the jig, and this innovation will work great. Congratulations and thanks for the posting.

Ron
