Re: small router/end mill bits

They have bits as small as .01" ( .25 mm. ) . other sizes ; .015, ( .038 mm.) , .031 " ( .79 mm.) , .0625 " ( 1.5...

Re: small router/end mill bits
G'day John , Nice of you to drop by I agree with Lillian, an apology isn't needed. I'm sure you're doing what you consider best for your customers . Because I live in the bush here in Australia, parcels other than by Post office tend to get dropped off somewhere without notice. I found my last parce...

Re: small router/end mill bits
Thanks Hip , I'll have a closer look at that site , but I'm really after an endmill type bit . Kim , I have a number of bits I've bought from Stewmac . They're great but they have none smaller than 1/32 " ( .8 mm. ) . Looks like I might have to go to Precise Bits after all.. I was wrong before , the...

Re: small router/end mill bits
Cheers and thanks Martin , but I'm after something less than 1/32" ( .8mm) . .5 or .6 mm. would be perfect. Incidently, Precise Bits have them as small as .25 mm. . They also have specialty bits for Luthiers .56mm. and .58 mm. ( .023" ) Perfect for fret slots. I was just hoping I could get hold of s...

Re: Carbon Fiber Use In Lutherie
My thoughts too Kim regarding rigidity in that area. As you can see by my above pics , I have reinforced the neck shaft , heel , headblock and back brace area to be fairly rigid . This, to my thinking, should promote a sustaining string . Other areas , such as the remaining back braces , I have not ...

Re: Carbon Fiber Use In Lutherie
This should be an interesting thread Hesh as I'm sure a lot of us are finding more applications to improve the instrument. First up is a foot I put on my headblock . I could only have this 1/2" thick because of my adjustable neck hardware. Not much strength , so I put in three 5mm. C.F. tubes which ...

Re: Bracing on a King Billy Top
Great design Bob and well thought out. It's got a lot going for it with the A Frame and C.F. capping on the transverse. Nice work on the lattice bracing too . What dimensions are the A Braces and transverse ?

Re: KB Pine/Blackwood OOO
I agree with Lillian . Looks great to me. The colour of the Ab. seems to suit . In my opinion a more colouful Ab. ( Paua etc ) would be all too much next to the Tiger Myrtle.
Is that the Zipflex product Steve ?

Re: sound hole binding
G'day Steve . ,,,It's been a while . Yep I sure got lucky with the Spruce. I've struck 'silking' with Sitka before , but never to this degree . I'm told it's got a lot to do with it being cut perfectly on the quarter , but I gotta feeling there's a bit more to it than that.

Re: sound hole binding
Thanks for that link Mark . Yes I'm sure that method works well too. Might also be handy should you want to make your soundhole smaller at a later date (lower the resonance )
