hey jack

it's gonna be a flat top, no cnc needed. I have the usual tools at home. band saw, belt sander, drill press and a dremel for the small stuff. If i need something else ill just drive over to http://sawdustshop.com/ . i live about 10 min from these guys.

Was just wondering; still haven't found anybody that's bought one of those $1100 CNCs they advertise on eBay yet....
 
Jack

i didnt see any cnc's that cheap. $4500 was the cheapest...no way could i afford that. The Sawdust Shop has a CNC and a laser engraver that i could book time on but id have to learn Corel Draw...and probably buy a PC cause im a Macinosh user.

Was actually referring to this duplicator:

i looked at that thing on ebay....looks like a plunge router on a stick...sorta like the chalk holders in music class that could draw 5 lines at once for putting notation on a chalk board. something like this could be made for probably under $50 sans the plunge router.

those are very good for duplicating necks. first act uses something similar, (first act blows)

I think there is another ebay seller that offers the plans for a $200 duplicator for 25 bucks or so
 
hey Schmoopie

that first act looks like a guitar company made by marketing schmucks. thay made theire showroom look like an Apple store. the people in the pics look like they dont even know how to play a musical instrument of any kind. LOL

why settle for a cheap immitation of the real deal? I have an industrial carver made by Terrco and similar to what you see in the image here

more info here: http://www.terrco.com/marlin.php


the cheap units have too much flex to hold accuracy when attempting to do anything beyond a slug's pace. they're around $1500 new plus accessories. great for some tasks, and a waste of time for others. mine was formerly owned by bass builder Chris Benevente

all the best,
