Floyd Rose Original Routing Templates

thingiverse

I wasn't satisfied with the available options on the market, so I designed my own templates based on a diagram from this URL: http://skyway.s3.amazonaws.com/FloydRose/FROriginalRoutingDiagramsInchesPacket.pdf. If you're looking for the stew mac golden age variation, I've also created it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2636557. This set of routing guides is designed to help create precise routing templates from wood. The idea is to attach a piece of half-inch stock and use a bearing router bit to cut away the template. While I'm not sure if the template will hold up with a straight shaft 1/4" router bit, most of the routing can be done with a 3/8" bearing bit, and corners can be cleaned up with a gouge. These templates feature two small holes for marking post positions and grooves for center lines on posts and body. For a Floyd Rose, the posts should be 7/16" forward from the nominal bridge fulcrum line. With the exception of the back plate, when stacked together, these pieces should align in their correct positions.
