I believe Keith is taking orders for them. If you like I can check for sure or maybe he will check in here.

Chris: Very ingenious,Keith seems to be very talented. By chance would he have been a machinist?

I would be very interested in one of these as well as Keith's sweet pin router jig.

He's not building the pantograph/ duplicator but I will be making a my version of it with some small changes to it in the pretty near future. As for the info on the design of the sled it's out there on Frets and somewhere here in a past discussion and Keith has just added a motor and made some smaller design changes. You might have to discuss prints or plans with him. Lance you can remove this from the tut section if you think it's in the incorrect place. I wasn't sure if it was or not. So feel free to move it if you like. I guess it's more of a demo then tut.

I still prefer my tablesaw sled for making kerfed linings, but man this gizmo is super cool!

Actually, you don't want one of these machines, you want your local luthier buddy to want one.

It's a great conversational piece to say the least when people see your shop! :)

If anyone is interested Keith told me he has 4 cutters made. He has no prints available at this time. If anyone is interested in a cutter PM me.

Wow, a Frank Ford Ksled with a gear motor fitted, how clever.

How about the drop in ceiling edge channel for the out feed guide? There are some modifications to the design that Keith has made from Kim's and Frank Ford's design which he based his design off of that make it a nice machine.
