Hi Banjomanwv,
I carved my very first compound radius fingerboards 5-6 months ago with a toolpath (sbp) file created with a «Visual Basic For Application» program I wrote in Excel. I carved 2 test fingerboards with it and it seemed acurate. If you want a copy, email me at marclupien@hotmail.com. I make no guarantee but it works (some comments might be in french though). Note that I did *not* cut the fretslots on the CNC.
With the recent VCarve pro 8.014 upgrade, I thought it would be a good idea to write a custom gadget to create such a toolpath directly in VCarve pro. It would be a better integration than having to use Excel but I won't have time to implement that soon...
Marc.
