The one I got from StewMac is ok but the curve doesn’t extend all the way to the cutting edge so it doesn’t give as smooth a cut as I’d like at the end of the cut and tends to split the wood though a ...

I was really impressed with the Polyx Raw blend, on the floor, since it has a white additive that artificially keeps the surface white. The maple still looks like I just sanded it, but with a faint wa...

? ? Glad to see there are still people who know their classics.......

That's fine John, but as I am feeling a bit down at the moment I was hoping for a couple of painkillers the get me back on my feet before I answer any more questions, even if just relating to the exa...

Strange the ports are not 100mm? I had another look and it looks like the 2 1/2" is a reducer so it could be fitted with a 100mm (I feel this would be better for cooling and dust collection - but mayb...

Thanks- it says 2 1/2 " port... I got 100mm pipes and reducers. Also note that specs say MINIMUM stock thickness is 1/4"... we ignoring that?

I am contemplating acoustic instrument finish with OSMO polyx raw. Does anyone have experience of this for instruments? I have just fitted a restored maple floor and finished it with two coats of OSMO...

Not on instruments but I’ve used this on many other projects and it is far superior to something like Danish oil. If for no other reason than it takes much longer before it starts to get sticky and th...

Thanks for thoughts. I was really impressed with the Polyx Raw blend, on the floor, since it has a white additive that artificially keeps the surface white. The maple still looks like I just sanded it...

I would guess that it would be pretty thick consistancy if it is used for floors. That is not a good attribute for guitar finishes. Guitar finishes can affect the sound - especially an acoustic - it w...

If you are worrying about string spacing at the nut then I highly recommend this tool from Stewmac: Keeps things simple...(it was a lot cheaper when I got mine yrs ago! - but I would not be without i...
