Purchase Project Files

Step 1 – Carve the Parts

Open the included project files and compile them in your CNC software.

Estimated Carve Times:

Pedal Board Top: ~45 minutes
Pedal Board Risers: ~1 hour 24 minutes

Apply AccuTrack to the bottom edge of your boards, then load them into the machine and begin carving.

Step 2 – Remove the Parts

Once carving is complete, carefully cut the tabs to release the parts from the material.

Step 3 – Cut to Final Length

Trim the pedalboard top to your desired final length. The design supports up to 36”, but can be customized to fit your setup.

Step 4 – Sanding

Remove any remaining tabs using a rotary tool or file. Sand all surfaces until smooth, paying close attention to edges and corners.

Step 5 – Finish the Parts

If you plan to use different finishes for the top and risers, apply them before assembly.

For example:

Apply a wood stain (such as red oak) to the risers
Use multiple coats of a fast-drying clear finish on the top

Allow all finishes to dry completely before moving on.

Step 6 – Assemble and Glue

Dry fit all parts first to ensure proper alignment. Then apply wood glue and assemble the pedalboard.

Clamp the pieces securely. If clamps are difficult to use due to the shape, painter’s tape can help hold parts in place. You may also use small finishing nails to secure the risers to the center support if needed.
