Ooh, I've been really tempted to get those radius jigs with all the inserts. In a classic case of escalation, I then came very close to buying a 3d printer to try to make an accurate enough jig instead.

Anything to avoid ever having to sand another ebony fretboard by hand, it's amongst the least productive things I think I've ever done.

Cannot recommend hard enough. Turns a frustrating, dusty, time-consuming job into an easy 5 minute one. Much, much more accurate. I found it nearly impossible to get the correct radius with sanding blocks.

We were taught to make guides with straight edges so you can't go wrong. But it doesn't make the task any less tedious. You can hand plane the bulk off if you're good enough.
