Arrhythmias That Start in the Atria
Sinus Arrhythmia —Cyclic changes in the heart rate during breathing. Common in children and often found in adults, as well.
Sinus Tachycardia —The sinus node sends out electrical signals faster than usual, speeding up the heart rate.
Sick Sinus Syndrome —The sinus node does not fire its signals properly, so the heart rate slows down. Sometimes the rate changes back and forth between a slow (bradycardia) and fast (tachycardia) rate.
Premature Supraventricular Contractions or Premature Atrial Contractions (PAC) —A beat occurs early in the atria, causing the heart to beat before the next regularly expected heartbeat.
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia (PAT) —A series of early beats in the atria speed up the heart rate. In paroxysmal tachycardia, repeated periods of very fast heartbeats begin and end suddenly.
Atrial Flutter —Rapidly fired signals cause the muscles in the atria to contract quickly, leading to a very fast, steady heartbeat.
Atrial Fibrillation —Electrical signals in the atria are fired in a very fast and uncontrolled manner. Electrical signals arrive in the ventricles in a completely irregular fashion, so the heartbeat is completely irregular.
Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome —Abnormal pathways between the atria and ventricles cause the electrical signal to arrive at the ventricles too soon and to be transmitted back into the atria. Very fast heart rates may develop as the electrical signal ricochets between the atria and ventricles.
Arrhythmias That Start in the Ventricles
Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVC) —An electrical signal from the ventricles causes an early heart beat that generally goes unnoticed. The heart then seems to pause until the next beat of the ventricle occurs in a regular fashion.
Ventricular Tachycardia —The heart beats fast due to electrical signals arising from the ventricles (rather than from the atria). If sustained, this can lead to an emergency medical condition.
Ventricular Fibrillation —Electrical signals in the ventricles are fired in a very fast and uncontrolled manner, causing the heart to quiver rather than beat and pump blood. This is a life-threatening condition and is the primary cause of sudden cardiac death.
Long QT Syndrome —Diagnosed on the basis of electrocardiogram (ECG), long QT syndrome may be inherited or acquired (eg, secondary to other causes), with the most common cause being medication. Patients with long QT syndrome are prone to syncope (fainting spells) and palpitations. They are also at an increased risk for sudden cardiac death.
Conduction Block
Conduction block can occur anywhere along the heart's electrical pathway (eg, near the AV node or along the bundle branches that conduct impulses into each of the ventricles). This abnormality is detected on ECG. It may be completely asymptomatic or it may cause your heart rate to slow down, which in turn may cause fainting spells, dizziness, and feeling of skipped heartbeats.

Earthjustice attorneys represent public-interest clients concerned about threats to the environment and hold accountable those who jeopardize the health of our planet. Thanks to the generosity of our many supporters, we provide expert legal support free of charge to groups large and small. Several of the most important legal battles for this year can be found at the 2014 Legal Docket.
Our complete legal docket includes about 300 active cases. Learn about some of our recent and historical cases:
|Hatfield's Ferry & Coal Combustion Waste
|Hatfield's Ferry is located along the Monongahela River that flows north from West Virginia into southwestern Pennsylvania. The Monongahela is heavily used for recreation (boating and sportfishing) and is the main drinking water source for over 90,000 people in the region south of Pittsburgh. It is also the location of one of Pennsylvania's dirtiest coal-fired power plants.
|West-wide Energy Corridors
In January 2009, on its way out the door, the Bush administration finalized a vast network of energy corridors that promote coal-fired and other fossil-fuel power plants. The West-wide energy corridors are approximately 6000 miles long and cover 3.2 million acres of federal land in eleven Western states. By designating corridors that service old dirty sources of energy while neglecting areas with potential for clean, renewable energy sources, the Bush administration curtailed the ability of the federal government to shift the country away from our dependence on fossil fuels.
The federal Energy Policy Act of 2005 required federal agencies to designate corridors for oil, gas, and hydrogen pipelines and electric transmission facilities on federal land. In designating these corridors, the Bush administration ignored input from states, local governments, and thousands of citizens that suggested alternative routes that would not only support renewable energy, but also avoid trampling through iconic western landscapes including Arches National Park and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The federal agencies responsible for designating these corridors also refused to engage in consultation under the Endangered Species Act to determine how these corridors would impact threatened and endangered species throughout the West.
On behalf of a coalition of conservation organizations and a western Colorado county, Earthjustice filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging these corridors. The lawsuit seeks to redirect new transmission lines so that they link clean energy areas to consumers, and revitalizing the West-wide energy corridors, which have the potential to be an essential component of the of the overall renewable energy plan for the West, integrating state and regional policies to tap into the West's vast potential for wind, solar, and other renewable energy sources while protecting the region's iconic wildlife and public lands.
|Stockwater Exemption
|On June 30, 2009, Earthjustice's Seattle office filed suit in state court in Washington, on behalf of third and fourth generation farmers against a huge industrial cattle feedlot. The Five Corners Family Farmers are a group of dryland wheat farmers whose families have been living and farming in the area since the early 1900s. Franklin County, Washington is one of the driest counties in the state and the Family Farmers group uses conservative farming practices in order to produce wheat without irrigation. The new industrial feedlot, Easterday Ranches, Incorporated, will pump over a million gallons of groundwater total per day from an area otherwise closed to new groundwater withdrawals due to decreasing aquifer levels. The Family Farmers worry that their wells, the source of all their water for drinking and household uses, will be threatened by this huge new, unregulated, industrial use.
|Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission Rulemaking
The Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission is promulgating regulations to implement statutory changes enacted from the 2007 legislative session. These new regulations are expected to substantially change the state permitting process for oil and gas development in Colorado. For the first time, the regulations will systemically address public health, environmental and wildlife concerns.
Earthjustice has been asked to represent the conservation community in these proceedings, to make the case for regulations that are open and transparent and protective of the environment, and to counter an intense campaign by the oil and gas industry to weaken the proposed rules.
|Gray Wolves in the Northern Rockies
Gray wolves have come perilously close to extinction in the Rocky Mountains. Only in the past decade has the wolf population rebounded from a population of less than 50 to more than 1,500 wolves today. Visitors come to Yellowstone every year to get the chance to see and hear wolves in the wild.
In September, 2008, the Bush administration moved to reinstate federal Endangered Species Act protections for wolves, by asking a federal court for permission to withdraw its March 2008 decision to drop protections for wolves in the northern Rockies. On March 6, 2009, Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar affirmed the decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove gray wolves from the list of threatened and endangered species in the western Great Lakes and the northern Rocky Mountain states of Idaho and Montana and parts of Washington, Oregon and Utah.
Once again, Earthjustice has turned to the courts to protect the grey wolves of the northern Rockies from attempts to deprive wolves of necessary legal and habitat protections. On June 2, 2009, Earthjustice filed suit on behalf of conservation groups challenging the decision to delist the wolves. In August 2009, Earthjustice sought an emergency injunction to halt wolf hunts in Idaho and Montana.
|Air Pollution Haze in Our National Parks
The 1977 Clean Air Act set a national goal of cleaning up dirty air in major national parks and wilderness areas. Decades later, only a small handful of states have submitted legally required plans to comply. The result: power plant and factory emissions continue to obscure views of beloved landmarks in national parks across the country including Shenandoah, Great Smoky Mountains, Glacier, Big Bend, Acadia, Sequoia, and Yosemite.
On October 21, 2008, Earthjustice filed suit on behalf of Environmental Defense Fund and National Parks Conservation Association over the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's failure to enforce deadlines for the states to adopt these clean air plans. The Clean Air Act required states to submit enforceable plans to EPA by last December to clean up hazy skies in parks and wilderness areas. As of June 2008, only six had submitted plans, according to EPA sources. The Earthjustice letter gave notice of intent to sue EPA unless the agency enforces the deadline against delinquent states within 60 days.
According to the National Park Service, human-caused air pollution reduces visibility in most national parks throughout the country. Average visual range -- the farthest a person can see on a given day -- in most of the western United States is now about one-half to two-thirds of what it would be without man-made air pollution (about 140 miles). In most of the east, the average visual range is about one-fifth of what it would be under natural conditions (about 90 miles).
Earthjustice is suing EPA on behalf of conservation groups.
|Protecting Grand Canyon-Parashant and Vermilion Cliffs National Monuments from Off-Road Vehicles
President Clinton created the Grand Canyon-Parashant and Vermilion Cliffs National Monuments in 2000 to protect their spectacular landscapes, unparalleled geological formations, artifacts from more than 10,000 years of human history, wildlife, and the solitude and remoteness essential to the character of these lands. To protect these valuable resources just north of the Grand Canyon, the Presidential Proclamations specifically prohibited the use of motorized vehicles off of any roads.
Instead of extending the National Monuments the especially protective management to which they are legally entitled, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) adopted resource management plans (RMPs) that treat the monuments as if they are indistinguishable from general multiple-use BLM lands. This is perhaps most evident in BLM's designation of a spider web of thousands of miles of trails and routes for motorized vehicles that BLM admits will damage the objects to be protected by the proclamations.
In addition to failing to comply with the Monument Proclamations, BLM also relied on a settlement agreement between the Department of the Interior and State of Utah to unlawfully disavow its statutory authority to fully consider the protection of wilderness-quality lands in the monuments. As a result, the solitude, remoteness, and wildlife habitat so important to these lands may be degraded or destroyed by motor vehicle use and other activities permitted by BLM.
Earthjustice represents a coalition of five environmental groups challenging the monuments' RMPs.
|Critical Habitat for the Palila
|The palila -- a bird endemic to Hawai'i -- depends on the native Hawaiian dry land forest, particularly mamane trees, for food, shelter, and breeding, and the destruction of mamane forests by sheep and goats and other browsing animals in the early twentieth century prompted a sharp decline in palila numbers and habitat. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reacted by recognizing palila as endangered in 1967 and designating Palila critical habitat on the upper slopes of Mauna Kea.
|Orion North Timber Sale
The Orion North timber sale would have clearcut the heart of the last major roadless watershed in Thorne Arm, on Revillagigedo Island near Ketchikan in the Tongass National Forest. The watershed provides important old-growth habitat connecting Misty Fjords National Monument with the valuable coastal habitat along Thorne Arm.
|Gulf Longlines & Sea Turtles
Earthjustice has filed suit to protect sea turtles in the Gulf of Mexico. These turtles are a key part of the ecosystem in the Gulf, where they forage and live throughout the year. They also are a valuable legacy for Gulf residents who take pride in observing and enjoying the sea turtles' continued choice of their local beaches to nest. But they are being captured and killed in large numbers by fishing vessels that deploy miles of line and thousands of hooks along the ocean floor. The turtles drown or suffer serious injury when they grab the bait off these hooks.
Populations of these sea turtles are vulnerable; one turtle species in particular—the loggerhead—has suffered more than a 40% decline in its population over the past decade. Therefore, the Endangered Species Act requires the National Marine Fisheries Service to strictly limit the number of turtles that can be caught and harmed by these fishing vessels. But the Service has known for several years that these turtles are being caught by the hundreds, at levels that greatly exceed the allowed limit. The situation is so dire that in January 2009 the local fishery management council asked the Service to close the fishery altogether. Even though the scientific data are clear, and despite the fact that the Service has both the authority and duty to prevent further death and injury to sea turtles, the Service still has failed to act.
In its lawsuit, Earthjustice is asking the federal court in Florida to order the Service to close the fishery until the Service gathers the information needed to assess how best to protect the turtles and avoid further decimating their populations.
|Challenging Smoky Canyon Mine Expansion Permit
|This case challenges a permit allowing expansion of the Smoky Canyon phosphate mine into roadless areas of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest in southeast Idaho. The mine is already listed as a federal Superfund site due to toxic pollution of area waters from past mining activity. Expanding the mine will likely create additional pollution in southeast Idaho springs and streams.
|False Killer Whale Longline Defense
|For years, the National Marine Fisheries Service has illegally ignored its own data, which show the Hawai'i-based longline fleet currently is injuring and killing false killer whales at over twice the level the population can sustain. In 2004, under pressure from an Earthjustice lawsuit, the National Marine Fisheries Service finally re-classified the Hawai'i-based longline fishery as "Category I" -- a designation for fisheries that annually kill and seriously harm marine mammals at unstainable rates -- due to its excessive incidental take of Hawai'i's false killer whales. Pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act, this recategorization should have triggered the prompt establishment of a take reduction team to devise a plan to bring the fishery's incidental take "to insignificant levels approaching a zero mortality and serious injury rate." NMFS has failed to do so, claiming inadequate funding. At the same time, NMFS has never applied the congressionally-mandated factors to allocate resources where insufficient funding is available for all required take reduction actions.
|TMDL Challenge: Lake Okeechobee Tributaries
Apart from its ecological significance as the second largest lake in the United States, Lake Okeechobee is also the largest surface water drinking source in Florida and the headwaters to the Everglades. Today, as a consequence of constantly accumulating phosphorus and nitrogen pollution, Lake Okeechobee periodically develops extensive toxic algae blooms. This case follows a successful Florida law challenge to a nutrient limit proposed for the nine northern tributaries to Lake Okeechobee. In that case, the state agency proposed a nutrient limit for the tributaries far too high to maintain the federal and state standards for water quality. The evidence in that case indicated a much lower limit would be appropriate. In response to this decision, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed such a limit. Major agricultural polluters then put pressure on EPA to sharply increase the phosphorus limit, and the state developed an elaborate formula which produced a nutrient limit for the tributaries at a level 70 percent higher than the level initially proposed by EPA. In mid-summer 2008, EPA finalized its rule and adopted the higher concentration limit for phosphorus. An unreasonably high phosphorus limit for the main tributaries to the lake will serve as a vehicle to legalize the pollution rather than bring it under control.
Earthjustice is suing on behalf of conservationists to compel the EPA to set more protective pollution limits.
|Anacostia River: Sediment Pollution Limits
The Anacostia River flows through Maryland and the District of Columbia. Even though it flows through our nation's capital, it is heavily polluted -- raw sewage, trash, and other contaminents flow into the river, especially after heavy rains. Erosion, runoff from grimy streets, and an antiquated sewer system contribute to the problem.
The Clean Water Act requires that each state and the District of Columbia must set water quality standards which would protect the public health or welfare and enhance the quality of water. The state or the EPA must then set limits on the amount of pollutants that can enter a specific waterbody in any given day (total maximum daily loads, or TMDLs), and the EPA must approve TMDLs only if they are adequate to achieve the state's water quality standards. Because contaminated sediment is one of the major causes of water quality impairment in the Anacostia, the District and Maryland must set TMDLs to limit sediment pollution along with other pollutants classified as "suspended solids."
In response to a previous Earthjustice lawsuit, the District of Columbia and Maryland adopted a daily cap for suspended solids in the Anacostia, but these caps are far too high to make the river suitable for recreation or even aesthestic enjoyment. Earthjustice is challenging the EPA's adoption of these inadequate pollution caps. The Anacostia River deserves better.
|Cleaning Product Chemical Reporting
Earthjustice is taking Proctor & Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive, and other household cleaner manufacturing giants to court for refusing to follow a New York state law requiring them to disclose the chemical ingredients in their products and the health risks they pose.

In essence, "Mama" represents a throwback and a modest delight for people who like a good scare but prefer not to be terrorized or grossed out. With fine special effects and a good sense of creating a mood and pacing the jolts, Andy Muschietti shows a reassuringly confident hand for a first-time director, pulling off some fine visual coups through smart camera placement and cutting, and not taking the whole thing so seriously that it becomes overwrought.
Prologue shows a distraught father, apparently devastated after a financial setback, driving his tiny daughters up snowy mountain roads to a vacant small summer house in the woods. Just as he is about to shoot the older girl, the man is prevented from doing so by some kind of beast which is vaguely glimpsed by the youngster but not clearly; in an astute subjective visual coup, she only sees its indistinct outline because she has her glasses off.
Five years later, Victoria (Megan Carpenter) and Lilly (Isabelle Nelisse) are discovered; miraculously, they have somehow survived by themselves, although they look like feral beasts, hopping around on all fours and the little one, especially, scarcely seeming human. Taking them in, despite highly dubious qualifications to care for such demanding cases, are the dead father's handsome artist brother Lucas (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and his punky grrrl band girlfriend Annabel (Jessica Chastain, sporting tats and a haircut that's somewhere between Joan Jett and Liza Minnelli).
Living in a loft in clearly tenuous financial circumstances, the couple are of an age where they might be well advised to consider life pursuits that involve a measure of income. Instead, they're set up in a surpassingly luxurious suburban home by a prominent doctor, Gerald Dreyfuss (Daniel Kash), for the exclusive right to study the girls and, presumably, help them fill in what they've developmentally missed through their human deprivation.
In expanding the story from a 2008 sort film, Muschietti, along with co-writers Neil Cross and Barbara Muschietti, has concentrated on the personal arc of Annabel, a self-absorbed scenester who gradually discovers something resembling a maternal instinct as the girls' emotional traumas are thrust upon her. Victoria, a bright child who had learned how to speak well before her father's freak-out, isn't such a problem, but Lilly remains more animal, or even insect, than human, scurrying around like a spider in her own little universe.
And, clearly, they are not alone. Weird apparitions materialize: Large moths and web-like patterns on the walls and, in a brilliantly architectural fixed shot from a hallway, the sight of little Lilly tugging playfully with an mostly unseen presence through a door frame. This may be a pristine, immaculate looking house, but it's also haunted.
With a couple of obviously expendable supporting characters hanging around just so they can be dispatched by frisky culprit lurking in the walls, Muschietti does a pretty good job of sustaining one's interest until finally needing to let the cat (or whatever it is) out of the bag. What this very hairy thing turns out to be is scarcely any surprise at all, but it's still good for a few more startling moments before being revealed in its full and eerie glory.
The director cheapens his work's feel by overly relying upon loud and abrupt musical cues to unsettle the viewer, but the enterprise otherwise sports a classy profile thanks to Antonio Riestra's refined cinematography, Michele Conroy's expert editing and generally top production values.
Playing a more downscale character than usual, Chastain doesn't seem entirely at one with the more derelict sides of Annabel but compensates by her gradual revelations of the woman's evolving sense of responsibility.
"Mama," a Universal release, is rated PG-13 for violence and terror, some disturbing images and thematic elements. 100 minutes.
Motion Picture Association of America rating definition for PG-13: Parents strongly cautioned. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13.

These are the 4th pair I've bought. They get better looking each season and comfort stays the same.
Love the color. (jade synthetic)
Casual flip flops yet they look really beautiful. True to size. I usually wear size 5 1/2 for pumps, 6 for sneakers, yet size 5 was just right size. On flat soles, my feet get tired easily, however, they have a slight arch support, they are really comfortable!
Great Orthaheel support and attractive shoe. As with many Orthaheels, the size 10 seemed to be the right length, although I'm a true size 11. My feet are average to slightly narrow width, and the band was much too wide--these truly would flip and flop on me, so I need to return them.
Love the great price matching and free returns for members!
These sandals are GREAT! Living in Florida, we wear sandals for most of the year. Thanks to Orthaheel sandals I can wear these day and night and no foot aches! This style is VERY nice, and goes well with the other 5 pairs of Orthaheel sandals that I own.
These sandals are spot on with this season's embellishment craze. There's arch support (unlike so many other embellished sandals. I was sad though that the strap rubbed my toes so I returned them. If this sandals fit you, grab them! The blue ones are very very cute.

If you have not found what you was looking for in any other category, look under this category carefully. The leading manufacturers produce such a wide range of products that some of them are hard to classify. Vornado, Lasko, Holmes and Air King have units that have different purposes and designs.
Vornado has a variety of fans that have similar designs. These are 3-speed air circulators. They are mostly for a whole room. The features differ from model to model, so have a look at the products page to understand what is really needed. An interesting model is Under Cabinet Air Circulator. It is not actually a fan, but it is able to produce fresh air where needed. It has specially designed effective fan blades and unique design. It can be flipped up and down for easy storage.
Air King has a powerful 3-speed Pivoting Utility Blower. It is an ideal appliance for garage or other congested work areas. It can be used to dry carpets, floors, furniture and walls. The model is equipped with 2 grounded outlets. It has power coated steel blade, guards and mounts for corrosion resistance so it is durable and reliable.
Lasko has several oscillating units. They can be wall-mount or stand fans. Fans that are wall-mounted are real problem-solvers for those who lack free space. They have impact-resistant plastic construction and can be used practically everywhere. One more special Lasko model is a Premium Box Fan that has innovative system of protection against weather troubles. There is a patented, isolated weather-shield motor for window use. High performance grill allows maximum air flow. Three speeds provide fresh air effectively and quietly.
Westside Wholesale has all the units mentioned above in stock. This means that the delivery will be as fast as possible. Just make an order right now and enjoy fresh air in a few days. In addition, we offer pleasant prices. All the fans are at wholesale prices and they are probably the lowest on the market. Moreover, to save your money even more we have discounts on some products.

How to Select
How to select other fans
A fan is one of the most efficient devices because it can help you save heat. The models of various types, sizes and designs that are offered today can help you find the perfect device to install in your home or office. There are also hundreds of portable fans that you can take with you wherever you go. This guide will help you select a perfect fan to fit your needs.
Let's start with the types of fans that exist today. Now, apart from ceiling, window or duct fans, there are other types offered on the market today such as table fans, portable devices as well as compact air circulators and pivoting utility blowers. Mentioned below are the details and features that you should pay attention to when selecting any type of the fans described below:
Size and capacity. The most important aspect of any fan is its precise operation. To ensure that such device will be able to cool the area of your choice, you need to calculate its capacity. The larger your room is the more powerful device it requires. However, it may be better to install two less powerful fans for more efficient and even air distribution.
Additional features. Remember that more additional features will not necessarily help your fan cool the area faster. When selecting a portable fan or an air circulator, you might want to look for such features as multiple speeds of operation, programmable and easy to use controls, oscillation and automatic switches to shut the device off in case of an emergency.
Safety. No matter how great the power and the price of a fan are, if it is not equipped with protective screens and other safety features, don't even consider buying it. Since all modern devices are equipped with protective screens and automatic switches, you won't have to look for them specifically. However, ensuring that a fan that you are willing to buy does have safety features won't harm you.
Efficiency and compatibility. When selecting a portable fan or a similar device for your room, desk and other areas, see that it is compatible with the power line or other energy source of your house. In addition to that, ensure that you will be able to install the device and that you have all of the necessary accessories and tools to do that.
Design. If you are only interested in cooling feature that a fan can provide, you may skip this step and proceed to buying the device that you have selected. Yet you may want your future fan, regardless of its size and type, match the décor of the room and add some style to it. In this case you should spend some extra minutes and look for a fan of a suitable color option.

I think that both the Saddle Routing Jig and the Precision Router Base are very well made, and on a whole, are time savers. The rating I would give each individually would be five stars. The problem I have had comes when I use the Saddle Slotting Jig in conjunction with the Precision Router Jig to cut saddle slots. There is still enough wobble within the Dremel that the bits end up cutting a channel that is .018 oversized from the StewMac Carbide Downcut Bits (which are also a great part). This clearly means that if you use the 3/32 (.094) bit, you end up with a channel that is .112, and if you use the 1/8 (.125) bit, you end up with a channel that is .143 wide. I have talked to the folks at StewMac, who were very friendly, and they recommend I use my trim router, which I will do in the future. However, I disagree with StewMac's claim of the Saddle Slotting Jig working seamlessly with the Precision Router Base. Again, both are very well made, I have just found that they do not create an accurate slot width.
I just used my new saddle routing jig on an acoustic that came in to the shop with a broken bridge plate and a missing saddle. Set up was easy and quick once I had the rout marked out, and the job was over and done quickly. You do have to be very careful when tilting the router bit into the plate.
The price of this tool makes it worth buying. If you want to make a similar jig it might cost a lot less in materials, but will take a lot of time you could be spending doing other stuff. its easy to use and accurate. i used it with my bosch router. theres a few tricks you need to know while using the tool so if you arent experienced maybe do a test run on a scrap bridge to get a feel for the router and how it cuts in the jig.
This flexible jig has saved me countless hours piecing together jigs on a case-by-case basis, or in developing my own permanent jig.
Quick, accurate and repeatable results.
This jig works great with the Bosch Colt router. Drill a 1/16" hole at the saddle locations at the e-strings' pin holes. Use your holes for aligning the jig. Then mill your slot in 2 or 3 passes with a 1/16" downcut bit. Make one final pass at full length and depth with the 3/32" for a nice and clean saddle slot.
This is a great design, easy to use and does the intended job well. I can't imagine cutting a saddle slot without it. However, one should be careful when the router gets to either end of the cut, as the router seems to take an exceptionally hard bite at the end, and the router bit can move slightly left and right, causing resulting in a slightly wider opening than the slot. This is easily avoided if the operator will hold the router tightly in his (or her) hand as the router reaches the limits of travel.
As always, any tool needs the attention of the operator to work well. This fine tool is no exception.
It is a great tool for bridge work. I found the guide and router base have a few mm of slack. Not bad just have to take care to keep it square on one edge.
Had a jig I made myself and it worked fine for years, but once I tried one of these that friend had I was sold. Almost idiot proof, smooth, precise tight fitting action. Easy to clamp down.
An excellent piece of kit. Don't let the high price put you off. It's worth it, for pro results. And it's very easy to use too! Glad I bought one.
A heavy duty, well-designed jig that makes slotting a bridge easy and precisely accurate. I use plunge cuts and gradually increase the depth of each pass to obtain perfect results. Nice flat slot bottoms for good pickup contact too.

Soon they find their public and their second single, Mugen no Ringo, is the beginning of their first tour in 2011 all over Japan.
