Awesome video, thanks so much for posting this. You pretty much solved all my concerns with this video which makes this an easy purchase for me. Many thanks!!
Interesting video chuck . I/m in your camp .I have a lot of power tools and hand tools . Carving necks by hand is getting old. Thank you for the detailed video
Hi Chuck, I am thinking of purchasing a machine like this, I'm especially interested in your vacuum holding fixtures! I'm guessing they are teflon with o-ring material for the vacuum seal? How much proud are the o-rings for a good seal? Thanks in advance! Tom Make mainly Banjos! Some guitars! Some fiddles!
Hi Tom, the tables are made of High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) which is readily available. The rubber gasketing material is between .75 and 1 mm proud of the board. Hope this helps!
Hey Chuck nice video i got one question if you do not mind when you did your final profiling of the neck what kind of end mill did you use there i am asking this because when i do the final fine pass for my profiling when i use and ball end it will cut in to my vacuum board
Hi Chuck, i really like your fixtures, can you tell me what kind of plastic are you using and gasket material? Also do you need hudge vacuum pomp for that or automotive HVAC pump is just fine?
The fixture material is High Density Polyethylene (HDPE). The gasket material is rubber and can be purchased from a company call Allstar Adhesives. Really great folks to deal with.
I'm not too far from you, I'm a steel string builder about to purchase the Laguna IQ, could I come and see your setup and hang out for a bit? I can bring cigars/wine or whatever you appreciate.
Sega Zu Yes, indeed, The smaller stepover makes all the difference in terms of a smooth cut, although some very light sanding with 600 grit sandpaper gets rid of any micro-ridges.
Great stuff Chuck thanks for the effort to share this with us.

Why do you use the ball bits when you rout the flat surfaces?
The ballnose bits provide the best results for a finished surface.
And needs smaller stepover?
