Good video; I recall seeing this a few years ago and liked it then - probably should have commented the first time around. ;-) I like your setup, may 'borrow' some of it for my CNC work.
This IS BRILLIANT..! I'm just getting my garage set up for a guitar shop. Have my cnc but alot to get ready yet. Been brainstorming what kind of vacuum table to build. But this kills two birds..! Hold jig and vacuum.. NICE! JUST FOUND your channel.. cant wait to see what else you have up..! Thanks!!
Is the area under vacuum just the stitch pattern (long central slot with short cross slots at each fret)? Or is it everything within the perimeter of the gasket? I guess I'm wondering if the wood can deform and seal off along the edge of the slot, leaving the area between the slot and the gasket at ambient pressure? Do you ever release the piece and see the emboss of the vacuum slot on the wood itself?
What is the name for the threaded plug like devices that fit the holes in the work surface @ 1.36? They're sort of like big shoulder bolts. I'm assuming the holes for them are drilled along the axes so they're a quick and accurate way of aligning the workpiece. Is that right?
I really like the idea of not having to use clamps to hold down the work. Have you had any problems with work coming off? Does the gasket need to be changed over time?
How did you originally locate the "locator" pins, that's my big issue for my layout for my guitar and mandolin necks and fingerboards. They are opposing and I need them first to move on to next procedures
I guess what I’m asking is I have virgin mating surfaces. I want to index them with locators both for milling and shaping fingerboard and same for neck then during assembly glue up provide index for positioning during that procedure. I’m thinking I will use the slot for truss rod in some fashion also. So after all that how do you mate the holes in the drawing stage and know they are correct. Thanks for your patience. D
awesome job explaining and great jig

I always get a little jealous of how clean most everyone in the world besides me keeps their shop. :) Nice video!

Hello, great video! Can you share or sell vacuum jig plans? I just started using cnc to build a guitar, but clamps are killing me -_-
Great video very helful..
How you align workpiece on the jig ??

Wow... really cool.

What vacuum pump are you using? Great videos by the way.
What CNC do you have?
What is the base material for the jig?
any chance you have a plan for that?
The guitar is not properly tuned or not well build concerning intonation! :-(
Great video!! How deep do you route the channels for the gasket?
