Zurgh, when you program to cut the fret slots, do you pre-radius the fingerboard and cut an arch shaped slot to the same depth following the radius of the fingerboard?

Yes. The bottom of the fret slots follow the fretboard surface -.07" below the fretboard surface.

The slots are cut with a .023" end mill.

The frets are precision bent by a die to conform to the 10" fretboard radius.

When it comes to installing them....they go in very nicely and remain secure.
