A StewMac original, better than everBig improvements in smoothness and efficiency make this exclusive StewMac tool set the ideal fret slotting solution for small shops. Through years of constant use and clever improvements, they've created the single best tool for hand-cutting fret slots.The simplest way to cut perfect fret slotsOur Fret Slotting Saw has a rigid brass spine, and a comfortable traditionally-turned hardwood handle with ferrule. It looks right at home on a luthier's workbench.Cuts smooth as glassThe fret saw glides through the ball-bearing rollers with no jamming or chattering. You've never felt a miter saw move this freely without looseness. The bearings hold the blade perpendicular to the fretboard at a perfect right angle.Clear view of the actionOur uncluttered design lets you see and feel the slot being cut. Set the slot depth to suit your fretwire, and the saw stops cutting when you reach that point. Easy!Work fast with templatesOur Fret Scale Templates are made for our miter box: their notches click onto the box's index pin so you can slot an entire board quickly. No measuring! Of course, you can use the miter box without templates too.Helping-hand thumbwheels hold the fretboard, leaving your hands free for sawing."You won't believe how smoothly our improved fret slotting system works!"—Don MacRostie, StewMac R&DThe Fret Slotting Miter Box accommodates fingerboards up to 1/2" (12.7mm) thick and 3" (76.2mm) wide.
