After years of hand cutting binding channels on carved archtop mandos ,guitars etc. I decided to try and save some time and go electric. The jig is well enough made for the price and is , just as good , probably better , than the one from usa which every one will know , (overpriced and poor Quality control ) I will not buy any tools from that particular scots sounding American joke tool outlet . Overall very pleased . I have set up and used it on an archtop mandolin with a Portugese( Sobel) style neck to body join and with the neck attached was able to quickly rout the channels belly and back leaving only a small channel across the width of the neck heel to cut by hand and a very small amount to trim to full depth where the belly meets the neck. I would recommend this jig to anyone wanting a convenient binding channel solution for instruments with arched plates . I would also recommend doing it by hand as well because with practice its not so much a chore and is satisfying and Quieter and makes less mess to clean up. This jig saves time and would be an absolute breeze if just doing Guitars with gently arching plates .Im glad to now have this jig to use as an option. If you were wondering if to or not to buy this jig just go ahead ,you will be glad you did and the quality will not disappoint.

Quality and precision tool for saddle and nut work
This tool makes sanding a perfectly flat and square bottom for nuts and saddles fast and easy
The precision construction ensures there is no rocking from the wheels not being parallel.
You may find similar tools on Amazon for less but as the old adage gose,"you get what you pay for" as those tool are of poor quality and presicion.
With free shipping and a great low price this has the quality of those higher priced tool from the other lutheir online stores
I highly recomend getting this tool for all your saddle and nut making needs.

Nut Slotting Gauge
Pretty much dead accurate for the 650mm scale
Tested with the Elmer Fret Mitre box (the newer version with the hold downs) and it worked perfectly. Haven't tested the 660mm scale side for accuracy but I only build 650mm. Would love it if they had a combination 635mm/640mm template as I'd like to try building a slightly shorter scale for a classical guitar.

Works great
As others have said, it's well machined and pretty much identical to the far more expensive version. Only issue was one of the metric bolts used to attach the sides to the bottom was the wrong size so I left it off of the fixed side (one side is adjustable, the other fixed; both attach with 3 bolts). Shipped within a day of ordering and arrived well packaged.

High Quality Tool
Very high grade tool. To me this is a "can't do without" tool for anyone crafting custom nuts and saddles. I'm glad I passed on the cheaper Amazon versions of this tool.

Works like a charm
Just tried it out the other day and it works like a bought one. I was able to hut my nut slots down to thousands of an inch per string.

Excellent router base
I ordered Elmer’s precision router base for routing magnetic pickups and soundholes for the guitars I make. I was sceptical because of the low price compared to competitors prices. I was pleasantly surprised and recommended this item to anyone. It fits a variety of rotary tools including the new Milwaukee 12v cordless.
