Truss rod routing jig assembly.
The (wood) router carriage slides on the (two) arced side rails. The side rails are arced at a 147" radius for a telecaster neck. The convex arc identifies this particular setup as a jig for routing the truss rod from the back of the neck. The back-routed truss rod is used for necks with a non-capped fret board.
This jig assembly is made from a combination of high grade 3/4" baltic birch plywood and miscellaneous 3/4" douglas fir plywood scraps. The baltic birch is used in areas where a flat, straight surface are desirable.
Baltic birch machines better than coarser, lower grade plywoods.
Accuracy is very important, and a minimum of "play" in the components
is a must.
