Question about gluing and/or radius sanding a fretboard

[Timm]

I know that this is a really old thread, but I would still like to weigh in. I thought that my technique would be commonly used, but apparently it is not. I glue the tapered fretboard on the roughly sized neck blank and use it as a built-in router template. I run a ball-bearing router bit along the edge of the fretboard, et voila..there's a straight neck. Then I rout the binding channel, if desired.

Because the neck blank is still oversize at this point, I don't have to be paranoid about alignment. It has to match the headstock on one end, but that's it.

Edit: Just noticed Immortalx's post of a similar technique
