...not to mention the chance of slipping and taking out a finger or two...RRRRRR!!!...now THAT'S manly! The blood just adds so much CHARACTER to the build... ;^}
Like mentioned in the other posts, I just clamp a short section of 1x2 at the fret line and hold the saw against it, I do use a rafter square to make sure the 1x2 is at a right angle to the neck (my eyes ain't what they used to be). As far as reversible I don't see why not
Picked up this flush cut saw and just did my first ever fret board with it.
Worked well in oak.
I marked the lines with a square and just very carefully started each cut. Then it was a few strokes and done.
Did not use a mitre box or guide this time but prob good for the future.
Super glued a piece of wood on blade for stiffness and depth gauge,.
The saw was $13 at home depot. Good luck!
I believe its this. http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-Flush-Cut-Pull-Saw-DWHT20541/2030...
Size of slots looks good. I used a neck from http://www.nickelcbg.com/
as a template. Can't take credit for the piece of wood on the blade, read it somewhere
on here but it works great. I will be putting in frets tomorrow and will post how they fit the slot. Nice thing is blade is 2 sided so u get two blades for price of one !
Yeah Mike, after reading responses here I must agree that I too prefer to pay less. However every saw, rasp, spokeshave or any hand tool that I payed more for than I wanted to was money well spent. So many of my "money saver" tools are now quietly collecting sawdust. I went to the hardware store with calipers in hand looking for a cheaper fret cutting saw to no avail and ended up with Stew Mac's saw which is perfect but cost a bit. Before that I settled for crazy gluing frets into too wide slots but I'm much happier now!
