Universal Binding Machine

One of the most difficult things for the luthier to do is produce a consistent binding rabbet with a hand-held router. The solution is a modern embodiment of the jig designed and used by Tom Ribbecke. There are two parts to the jig. Part one is the carriage mechanism which allows the laminate trimmer to slide up and down easily. Part two involves a guitar carriage. This jig, while firmly holding the instrument, is height adjustable to allow the cutter to address the edge of any guitar. A self-lubricated plastic shoe rides on the top surface, the effect of which is to average any inconsistencies in the top or back, leaving a smooth, even cut. Comes completely assembled with a Porter Cable™ 309 Laminate Trimmer. This machine works great with our Binding Cutter/Bearing Kit (SPCPCN).
