While at the GAL I checked out a self aligning binding cutter at the Luthier Tool Company table that mounted right onto my Fleishman binding machine. For me it is the best of all worlds with dial-able height (the router base) and depth (the binding cutter). The tool mounts in the standard mounting hole for router template guides. With this tool I can use a 1/4 spiral down cut bit to cut the binding channels. It can be used with either the Fleishman or the tower binding machines.
I have not used it yet but you will see the use in my build blogs.

Re: Upgrade to my Blue Creek Guitars Fleishman binding machi
It is pricey, I would hate leave a price but it would be about double the cost of a complete bearing\router bit binding set.Ben-Had wrote:May I ask how much?

Re: Upgrade to my Blue Creek Guitars Fleishman binding machi
John I think a few people got seduced my Luthier Tool Company at GAL.. I've got a whole set of their head stock slotting & drilling stuff.. I would have got binding cutter but it will not fit on the LMI rig I have but when time allows I'm going to look at trying to make it work it is certainly the best of both worlds..johnnparchem wrote:While at the GAL I checked out a self aligning binding cutter at the Luthier Tool Company table that mounted right onto my Fleishman binding machine.
