Building my Router Binding Jig | Routing Binding and Purfling Channels
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2022
- I'm ready to install the binding on my acoustic guitar. The first step is to rout out the binding channels. I need a jig to hold the router square to the body so I decided to build my own jig. I used some aluminum extrusion, some off the shelf parts, and some 3D Printed things to put this together. I feel this has all the best features of all the jigs on the market today.
This is the first prototype version. After using it and making any necessary changes, I will be offering a package containing drawings, dimensions, parts used, sources, STL files and everything you'll need to build this jig yourself. I'll be making that announcement when it is ready. The link will also be posted here.
Check out the new version. Plans are also available. • Building the Guitar Bi...

I don't think this guy gets enough credit for what he does. He's pretty damn good.
Thanks for that. I really appreciate it.
You also could have put spacers on the bottom of the guitar holder to raise it enough to clear the minimum height of the routing jig.
Really cool Jeff! 😃👍🏻👊🏻 ... Looking forward to seeing it in action!
Could you have flipped the router bracket so instead of the vertical section facing down it faced up?
Yes, that would have been a great option. It would go low enough that way.
Subscribed - looking forward to a material list. I dont know how ive not ran across your videos in my feed until this one but im glad they did ...
Hello... Tq for the great vid. cant wait for the plans. Especially for d donut kit...
Great Video as always. Great tip using the Sharpie in place of layout paint. Awesome man.
Thanks man! Saves a trip to the store to get layout fluid.
Thank you for the big smiles,
Nice to see someone using their brain for better luthier related tools,
Looks extremely viable, l,ll likely reproduce one for myself. (Or buy one from you ?) Lol, Truly awesome. Love the video... BTW.. Looking forward to more content. ✌️❤️😁
Brilliant
What can I say.....WOW!!!
thank you
That is so cool man! I spent a crap ton of money on one of the commercial ones. It’s cool that you have the ability and motivation to pause the guitar build momentarily to build the jigs. I think you’ve got a great prototype here!
Thanks man, I don't mind spending good money on certain things, but sometimes I just look at a particular line of products and I just can't justify it. Lol. This was one of them. I'm already working on some changes for the next version. I think it will be pretty sweet.
I really like your tensioner. Makes me want to go out and buy a a 3D printer. Thanks for the information👍
Awesome design… fingers crossed that you have a final plan or units to sell in a few months, because I have a couple guitars in the works that I need a binding jig.
The constant tension spring is an elegant solution (also used by LMI on their binding jig) - but I found that a simple combination of rubber bands can also be used to provide just the right amount of weight relief so that the jig almost floats up and down at the level needed. My only issue with all of these vertical travel jigs - including the one I built myself (which almost identical to yours) - is that by design they're not capable of cutting at full depth when there's a relatively steep arch. It's not a problem with a full bodied guitar, but can be a significant one when routing around a Florentine cutaway on the back of the guitar (assuming the back also arches downward toward the neck). Thus in this area some hand work is still needed to make the channel around the cutaway meet evenly with the channels routed on the sides of the guitar. A binding jig that follows the sides of the guitar instead of the top and back overcomes this issue - but I only know of one on the market and thus far I haven't been willing to pay the asking price for it (but maybe that design could be shop made as well!)
Yeah okay this is awesome. Psyched to see the final! ‘Cause yeah some of them are pretty rich for my blood at the moment 😂
Thanks. They get crazy expensive depending on the version that you get. I'm already working on some updates to this one.
Your upgrades are stellar. Ill have to ,add the spring and plastic chair feet to mine.I dont like the aluminum ones I have .👍👍
Thanks, Check out version 2 of this jig. I made a few small changes and just used it on the acoustic I'm working on. ruclips.net/video/9nYwLVDKs8g/видео.html
Hi, where did you buy the extruded aluminum T track rail, bearings and bolts. Awesome build
Awesome, how to build a hand held fret press please
That would be a fun one. I'll check into that.
Thanks for the video. Most helpful. However, am I going mad,. or if you had simply turned the L-shaped bracket upside down [the moving bracket] you would have been able to use the original, I assume expensive,. mounting bracket. I don't think anything else changes by doing that, and with the L the other orientation, the bracket will not foul the mount before bit hits the guitar. PS love your mis-measure! My life is a perpetual cycle of mistake, correction, mistake etc.

I certainly could have done that. However, by eliminating that bracket, it brings the cost down though. Plywood is cheaper than that bracket. I returned the bracket.
Really cool - I definitely want to try this as I like binding on my guitar but I also like arm contours - I tried to cut the last one by hand but it wasn’t so hot!
One question - that little plastic donut you are using, what are they called?
I honestly don't know if it has a specific name. I just call it the donut. Lol.
Hey - has your new CNC put this project on the back burner ... Can I ask where you sourced your extrusions and bearings from? Enjoying your videos
The cnc hasn't, but I'm focused on finishing the acoustic guitar. I will get back to this one for sure. I ordered these v bearings from amazon, all of the other pieces I got from Mcmaster Carr. Except for bolts and screws.
Hey Jeff, you might have had the room with the initial base for the tower if you turned over the rack you have the router on over… yes?
It's possible. I thought about that a couple times but I feel like eliminating it was a better option. That original foot is expensive compared to the angled brackets and plywood.
What is that pillar called with the multiple grooves .....
I need to get one of those to build one for my Dremel Tool...
If you have a link where you bought it from will be great...
What is the height of aluminium extruded 4T slots pipe and profile size?
Although you didn't use the extrusion base, id be interested in a link.
Here's a link to the base. www.mcmaster.com/catalog-128%2F2120/
Great video. I'm a true McGyver too, so I really appreciate you making all the mistakes first so I don't have too. Are you by any chance selling the 3D printed donuts? I'm using a plumbing part for my current jig (which I'm going to update based on your jig), but yours looks to be more consistent.
I can do that. Send me a message to homebuiltshop@gmail.com. I am working on the version 2 of this jig right now with a few minor updates. I plan to have a complete parts list and files available when its done.
Do you have an estimated cost of materials?
When I priced everything out, it was around $150 for these parts.
@@homebuiltshop thank you.
If you turn the router base carriage around, the router will go all the way down...
So basically you just exactly copied stewmacs binding jig and claimed you improved it🧐🧐🧐
Oh no...
