I make my own templates by importing a guitar picture into my CAD program, scaling it to size and then tracing the shape. Any Lazer cutting shop can cut the shape out for you from 3mm Perspex.
Nice man. I'm building bouzoukis in jbay. Must come visit sometime if u keen. Love to see you have a emco star planer. I'm struggling to use my thicknesses part of the machine. Planes very thin planks but won't allow 40mm planks through. Ant ideas?
Nice to hear from you. I’d love to connect sometime and see your instruments. The Emco Star can be tricky and I use mainly the planer and band saw after getting a wider thickesser. The thicknesser can be difficult to adjust and the feed is not very strong. I’ve put a piece of MDF on the surface to try and reduce friction when the wood goes through. Also check your feed roller belt drive as they sometimes come off or the belt breaks! Blunt blades also make life difficult 😊
Muy lindo el trabajo del CNC. Pero los luthiers las hacemos nosotros.
Excellent video. Where can I find a template like the one you used in the video?
