<p>Hi, here is a new project I’m working on, prompted by this thread, a Kerfed lining Slotting Saw.</p>
<p>It will have a specially adapted sled. I cut the slots and it automatically moves the strip along the desired spacing amount for the next cut. All I will have to do is push through the saw and pull back and push forward again.</p>

<p>I’m using the business end of a tile cutting saw I already had, I had used the original table for my fret slotting saw shown in previous posts in this thread. The sawblade is the Stewmac fret slotting one, it has a slight buckle in it, so the slot is too wide for frets but ok for making kerfed linings for my guitars.</p>

<p>Hooch, I should have listened to you, that mini-saw is seriously under powered.</p>
<p>I'd send it back but I've voided the warranty a couple of times over. </p>

<p>I like your tile saw idea, you get to see the cuts, let me know how it works.</p>
<p> I figured cutting a fret slot would be light duty for the saw, that setting it up would be the challenge for me and the saw. Something like hooch's set up might work.</p>

<p>Nice setup indeed, and something like it just might work for my mini-saw if my sled doesn't work like I hope. How about a shot with the top down please....and the sled, please. Thanks</p>

<p>I mistakenly misnamed the tool. I was referring to a scrollsaw, that is why I mentioned the coping saw. I've heard the two names interchanged with each other. Taff like your setup.</p>

<p>Hi, just a few comments. Chickenbone John is dead right about the accuracy needed if building your own saw table, sled and template.<br/> In the first photo you see the bench grinder I used. The reason for this pick [it’s a Makita and not cheap] is that it is very smooth running and the circumference of the body is less [just] than that of the saw blade, so that I have some height adjustment playability.<br/> After building the box that takes the tabletop, I hinged the table at the back and put two height adjusting knobs at the front. <br/> With the table in position I then positioned the grinder with blade attached so that it was perfectly aligned with the sled and its guiding arms and screwed it down to the base of the box.<br/> I have been using it for ten years now and I’m on my second saw blade. With a full-size fretboard, I push the board [attached to its template] forward through the saw but I do not come back through it but lift board and template off the table and relocate it for the next pass forward. This is so that I do not enlarge the slot by passing the saw through twice.</p>

<p>Hooch, I have not looked for thinner coping saw blades than what I get as standard but find the cut they make is way too wide to even grip the fret tang slightly. You may have more luck with the jigsaw idea than I did many years ago. I found the blade needs support top and bottom [like a bandsaw] otherwise it waves about like a flag on a thin stick in the wind, before biting into the timber. And the fact that the blade cuts away from the machine meant the saw was needed to be mounted above the work piece, so it pushes down onto the work surface. If you see what I mean. You might find that due to the jigsaw blade being held at one end only, they may be made thick so that they do not bend in the material being cut. Maybe?? Keep us informed.
