I scribe the layout across the face to make permanent dedicated scale rules and mark therm for reference. I would make up a dedicated indexing jig if I only did one scale, but I don't.
It takes only a few minutes to transfer measurements to an unmarked fret board.
I then hold the layout lines of the newly marked board to the tiny slot on the rear fence where the blade goes through and cut each slot.
It's less than 5 minutes to do the layout and cut the fret slots.
