krazyderek Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Well routers are all evil but, i really like my ½" round nose/core box bit with a bearing on the shank to follow templates. I used it on one of my gutiars to sink the bridge, and pickups into the guitars (see below). I also like my new flush trim bit, nice and sharp, but,that's cause it's new, i think my favorite bit is the Bowl & Tray bit, but i don't own one yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feylya Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 Derek dude, I must call for a tutorial on doing that. Looks bloody savage. Would be great for recessing strap pins, especially Dunlop Strap Locks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Well it's basicly an upside down router table. The router hangs from above by an arm, and the wood rests on ur flat surface. There's a small tube that pertrudes from ur level surface directly under the router and it's the same diameter as the router bit being used (when doing straight cutting) It makes it alot easier to use templates and takes the hassel out of replacing bearings every month or 2. Here's a guide i found to making one i think i might actually try this http://www.popularmechanics.com/home_impro...7/2/pin_router/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
