Up until now, I have used pre-routed bridges. What type of jig set up do most of you use to route your saddle slots? Also, do you do this before shaping the bridge or after Andy |

Hi Andy I could have sworn Don W had one in the jigs section but I can't see it now. At the moment I am just using a simple one I got from the Campiano book, just two pieces of plywood, and you run the laminate trimmer with a side fence on down the edge. I have been working on one which slides on draw runners, but I haven't quite got the kinks worked out, and after visiting Dave White, he gave me some new ideas on bridge angle, so I may be changing. What I would say is don't try to use a dremmel, I just found it unsuitable as it wasn't stable enough, I use a laminate trimmer with a 1/4" shank bit. In a discussion recently Mario showed his method, he use a bridge that is slotted through and cuts the slot on a table saw. Simple but very effective. |

There is the complete bridge making jig by John How in the Jigs tools and techniques section. This include the saddle routing set up. Colin |

Good point Terence, my router has a square bottom and I have marked my jig so I know which side of the router goes where although I discovered the need before I marked it if you know what I mean. |
