My method is very similar, I have a board thats bolted to one of my benches about 8 inches away from it, and I actually glue my neck blank to the proper spot on the spacer between the board and the table, so the truss rod is well centered, then use the board as my fence and do 3 passes to get my depth. Works quite well. Allows me to do tilt back headstocks too.Its not difficult to cut a good truss rod slot...
The way I do it?
I place a fence next to the neck blank and run my router mounted with a straight bit down the neck, the router is guided by the fence (a simple aluminium edge which I clamp on the table) usually 3 times untill I get the proper depth...
If you are building with a headstock with an angle you can shim the bottom of the neck so that the neck lays perfectly flat on the table and use the same fence technique...
I usually double stick the neck on the table for the routing job...

Hows the kool-aid?
I don't really get itWhy not clamp the neck?
I'm probaly getting it CNC'd, i haven't decided yet. The body is going to be CNC'd though, so i figured i could include the trussrod aswell.
Security, for one. Another reason being I don't do neck throughs, so unless I want a lot of waste wood on the end, what am I gonna clamp it to? The method I use makes the most sense for the limited shop I have, and works flawlessly.
