Looks to me like they are meant to fit in a 12mm hole... I just did a test and our Wilkinson bridge posts are still fitting perfectly tight into a 12mm hole Maybe there is some 'play' in your drill an...

@darrenking Thanks Darren, appreciate you looking... I'll get on the case and see how quickly I can get one... cheers Steve

@peebee thanks Peebee and Darren I'm happy to epoxy the pin in...I dont see why I should want to remove it... bit frustrating as I bought the 11mm bit especially for this job. I had a quick look, 11....

basically an 11mm hole is too small for the bridge inserts but 12mm is too big!! A 29/64" drill is very close to 11.5 mm

The 11.96 is closest to 15/32nd of an inch if that drill is available?

I agree with trying an 11.5mm drill as a first option. I wouldn’t go down the masking tape route personally.

Hi Guys I've attached some pics to illustrate my question.... the bridge inserts taper from 11.3mm to 11.96mm basically an 11mm hole is too small for the bridge inserts but 12mm is too big!! On the co...

There was too much dust in the dingy corner of the house where my guitars live. So I moved them out so I could muck out their hutch. As I stacked them up on the settee and saw them all together it daw...

So right at the end of todays stream, Mark, you were holding a strip of wood above the trussrod slot saying this would be glued in underneath the fretboard. The first thing I thought was of glue fouli...

@boo - yep! I could have cut a piece of wood to fill the gap between the router and the workpiece...would have the same effect but wasn't needed in this case...

I'm a bit peeved that I've not been able to watch live for the past two livestreams but I'm all caught up now. So right at the end of todays stream, Mark, you were holding a strip of wood above the tr...

I have seen accidents happen before, which I could have helped prevent but didn't, and it is a truly sickening feeling and one I never want to experience again. Totally appreciate your concern mate a...

Hi James, It's more about where your hands are in relation to the dangerous thing and where they may end up if something goes wrong. The chuck could loosen and drop out when you remove the material bu...

Please stop sitting on the fence @darrenking and say what you think 🤣 I appreciate your comments but surely the shirt sleeves getting caught in spinny sharp things apply to any tool, routers, ...

I know from a recent live stream that Mark isn't a huge fan of the safe T planer Nor me! I think it was the winning finalist in a 'Design an Accident Waiting to Happen' competition. There are just so...

While not as pristine as a blank created with a pucker planer thicknesser, I'm well happy with the results and can now practise to my hearts content without ruining top class wood and wasting money. ...

COOL! Getting your workpiece flat and straight is half the battle - use whatever you have available 😎

I know from a recent live stream that Mark isn't a huge fan of the safe T planer (despite it coming from StewMac 😜) but I've had one sitting in the shed unused for a couple of years. I've deci...

I thought of a fix for this yesterday. Stick a piece of wood the same thickness as the neck, and that has a straight edge, to the bench. This will be the edge for the router guide to follow. Next, sti...
