If you have windows 7 you can do Control + mousewheel scroll to zoom in and out.

I had a stewmac blade that was produced out of spec (too wide), i have the replacement blade now. My saw table was not the most expensive (somewhere in the 200 Euro range) the mechanics are wobbly which sucks. I had to remake the sled, which has no more play, that`s a good thing.
Still, the ends of the fretslot were getting too wide, you can see what i mean on the 2nd fretslot from above in the padouk fretboard (red wood) on the left, it gets wider. I found out i can solve this by ramming the fretboard into the saw with high speed (sounds very illogical, i know). If i ram it in, the wider area is only 3 millimeter instead of 1.5 centimeter, so now the wider area falls outside of the final dimentions, so it can be cut off. This was quite the battle with a lot of frustration. I even made the new blade thinner with a wetstone. The machine has oak wood as the sliders and a lowered area for my hands, i drilled into the stewmac template so i can just screw the template onto the wood, i don`t like this double sided tape method (the holes fall ouside of the final shape).

Are you using blade stiffeners with that fret slotting blade? It sounds like vibration could be causing the wider slots. http://www.lmii.com/products/tools-s...lotting-system

You don't need the stiffeners. Add a sacrificial board to the fence on your sled, or make a new one just for fret slots, and cut the kerf with your slotting blade. This way it will be supported by the wood when it exits the fretboard

If it were me, I'd make it thicker, at least 3mm...

1 centimeter is 10 millimeter.

This is the most complicated thing i ever made. This isn`t even the mold yet, this is just the shape to make a negative mold.
This is how the ridiculously expensive heating blanket from the aerospace industry will be positioned under the mold. It has a built in temperature control that can go up to 120 degrees Celcius. The carbon fiber / fiberglass Hybrid 2.0 acoustic guitar body will be post cured at about 85 degrees Celcius.

LOL some reason I thought I saw mm.... almost never see cm used, mostly mm. Should be fine...

Yes, millimeters and meters are sometimes used outside of metric system countrys. The US army uses the metric system, but they are talking about meters or kilometers. When you talk about precicion engineering like guitar building, millimeters is the norm.

Use millimeters a lot in CNC, as a lot of components are made in metric units, and dimensions always stated in millimeters. Though for my "work" I wouldn't use anything but Imperial units... force of habit maybe, but works just fine. Interestingly, the controls are set up for Imperial units on my CNCs, though the leadscrews are mm.

I can understand the idea of wanting to make a board that can vibrate in a more pure manner. But I think you could have saved yourself quite a bit of time and money by running experiments on a loose soundboard vs. one attached on a traditional acoustic, without ever having to deal with all the carbon fiber molds.
Perhaps using equipment that could have measured the decay rates of vibrations from the loose top to a traditional top, to see if there was a significant difference. It is certainly possible that an attached top could prove to be superior in doing the job of vibrating along with the strings. And you would want to know that sooner than later. That being said, i'm a firm believer that you can do all sorts of things in the building of a guitar and still wind up with good sound. Good luck on your finished product.
