These 3D Files were constructed from our popular A5 Mandolin Plans and 2D CNC files that we have in the plan section of our site. You will find that these files will provide a top level of convenience to customers who possess a CNC router, or access to CNC routing services.
We offer our A5 Mandolin Files either as a complete set or individual pieces (4) pieces total. if you don’t need the entire instrument. For instance if you only want the Neck, you can purchase the files to mill the neck.
Unsure if these files will work on your CNC system? Download our free Gibson Mustache Bridge 3D CNC files to be sure. Download HERE.
Note that all hardware including tuners, frets, purfling, bindings, screws, truss rod, and sides are not a part of these files and are shown for illustration purposes.
All these 3D CNC files are formatted in STL format (Stereolithography). Most 3D CNC controller software should handle this popular formatting.
The available files are detailed below:
This file consists of (1) file with (4) components.
1. The top plate is carefully contoured to the proper shape including recurve with f-holes cut into top. The underside of the top is cut out to match the plans. Note: Top does not include any geometry for bindings or purfling.
2. The second top plate is similar to the (1) above with the exception of elimination of the f-holes.
3. Back Plate. Carved in a similar manner to (2) above with recurve at outer edge and raised ridge from neck fading into the back.
4. Top Braces: Bass and Treble braces are contoured to the top plate undercut. Final shaping shall be done by hand.
This file will give you a smooth 3D file of the neck contour, heel contour, Dovetail Joint attachment to the headblock, complete peg head contour, tuner holes, bushing recesses, truss rod channel and access in the headpiece. The file also includes the headpiece overlay, both plain and cutout for pearl inlay, the inlay itself and the trussrod cover.

This file will contain the proper fretboard outline perimeter, fretboard recesses for the MOP Inlays and fret slots for the proper scale. (.023"; .58mm wide). The second set of files includes the model for the A5 style pickguard.
