if you’ll be using any American made bridges for example you’ll need the imperial sized bit for the posts ie tune o matic/wraparound style. @mattbeels Yeah they are a pain. 🤘😝🤘...

Here ya go, duty free. Probably available at Amazon as well. Was there meant to be a link or a photo attached @mattbeels? 🤔 🙂🎶🎸🙏

@russ Here ya go, duty free. Probably available at Amazon as well. These, of course are not the be all, end all of drill bits but they are great quality and I can recommend them. There are other excel...

They could be for sizing drills rather than drilling holes. You could be right @rocknroller912 🙏🎸🎶🙂

They are pretty good initially but I use another device as a secondary guide too. What would that secondary guide be @boo? 🤔 🙂🎶🎸🙏

.........or these...... @russ Yes, I have and use one of those drilling guides. They are pretty good initially but I use another device as a secondary guide too.

@russ I wonder if you would have to use a special type of drill with these guides. A normal one with sharp flutes would wear away the sides. They could be for sizing drills rather than drilling holes.

but does anyone know what drill bits to go for in the UK? Hi Russ, For my money the DeWalt Extreme bits are very good value but can be a little bit ‘grabby’ in the larger diameters (10mm+) especiall...

They look good @mattbeels but does anyone know what drill bits to go for in the UK? 🙂🎸🙏🎶

which makes it instantly less appealing. Eh, yeah! I’ve spent about £340 on parts, stock and custom made, so far and I still don’t have everything I need. If I ever finish my power fret slot cutting ...

@tej I would be very careful trying to adapt or build a high speed cutting machine it’s an accident waiting to happen. I think Mark said that his circular blade was a special order. Using the wrong ty...

Interesting thoughts, I’d not looked in detail at the additional bits and pieces that would need doing to the table saw etc which makes it instantly less appealing. Just how short of time are you? @...

I am by no way an expert here and I am also trying to decide if I want to start cutting my first fret slots. I've looked into how to convert an old table saw into a fretting machine but after you get ...
