To stop any twisting or mistakes simply clamp a second length of wood on the other side of the fretboard. Use the radius block on top of the board to work out the width. This stops all side movements when sanding
Yah, finally someone posted this common sense tip. The other issue of course that can reduce the middle portion being worn down first is to have one direction sanding for 10 swipes one way, ten swipes the other direction. Change the wood position (flip it on your table to compensate for left and right hand muscles, or tendency to favor one direction) also about every 4 of the 10 sets. Going back and forth has more variables than a one direction sanding. You must though change the direction consistently.
@@HighlineGuitars okay thank you and goog point I have a desktop CNC machine, Im thinking of cutting out the inlay with the CNC. Then cut the pearloid with the CNC too and slot it in. Then radius the fretboard with the sanding tool in the video. Would this work? I'm also thinking of filling the inlay pockets with resin if cutting pearloid is too hard. Would this be the best way to do it?

@@joq702 Good advice, I really struggle to radius a board consistently due to poor variables of my movements...
Or to eliminate repetitive error you use the router jig you built
How do I radius a fretboard with inlays already in
The same way you would if there were no inlays.
@@HighlineGuitars sorry, I'm super new to this. Trying to just put custom inlays into a guitar. Is it safe to sand the radius down with pearloid in?
@@pocketman5510 Yes, but make sure the inlay material is deep enough into the fretboard to account for the radius.

@@pocketman5510 This video, which premieres today at noon MST, should answer your questions: ruclips.net/video/cBlApXw1zPs/видео.html
what is the dimension??
long, width and thickness
i'm starting build some guitar project and need some advice hehe
thank you
