My son started building electric guitars. He needed a way to accurately radius the fret board. A 12 inch radius.
We thought about building a jig that used the rotary table on the mill, but decided a stand alone unit would be beter.
We made two sets of quadrants with a 12 inch radius from some scrap 1/2 inch polyethylene Then a simple base and slide for the router. The slide has 1/8th plexi to guide a bushing on the base of the router.
Mount the neck, then go back and forth with the router indexing the cut to form the radius.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
