Hi Everyone,
I have a guitar neck blank laminated and almost straight, but the headstock portion that is scarf jointed on is about 1/32 of an inch back. The rest is straight.
I can't cut the hardwood laminate well on my baby jointer. It vibrates and and if I put down pressure it cuts so slow it either bogs the motor or burns the wood which could make it tough to glue on the fingerboard. And that's trying to take off Dust with the blades sharp.
I did get it close and was hoping somebody might have a spiral head jointer that we could run the blank down a couple of times. It's about 36" long. The first few inches are the 4" wide walnut headstock blank. The rest is 2 1/2" wide laminate of jatoba, purple heart, and maple, with a bubinga center.
There's no rush, and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Todd
