Thanks. I thought that was the case, but wasn’t sure. Im in my first build and almost to the drilling the headstock for tuners!jread wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2023 5:22 pm Yes, the slotted headstock tuners have a slightly different post. The ones for solid headstock have a shaped tip which guides the string and the slotted ones are a straight post which inserts into the hole. Some brands have rollers. Some brands have different length posts which can be important depending on the thickness of your headstock

Re: 1st slotted headstock & method
I'm thinking this might be a job for the CNC. Any thoughts on that?

Re: 1st slotted headstock & method
Slot-head tuners have the holes for the strings more in the middle of the posts, and solid-head tuners have the holes closer to the end.

Re: 1st slotted headstock & method
Cutting the slots, you mean? Seems like a reasonable idea to me. I do them on my milling machine, but the cnc might be even better, especially if you could program it to cut the ramps.Diane Kauffmds wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2023 3:57 am I'm thinking this might be a job for the CNC. Any thoughts on that?

In Vectric VCarve or Aspire that is done with the fluting toolpath.especially if you could program it to cut the ramps.
