It's been a few years since I've been on this board; hoping someone can help with a how to technique...
I'm building an electric guitar with my son. The way it's made, there is a large pocket routed out of the back that houses the tone and volume switches. There is a cover that goes on the back of the guitar to cover that hole. We want to make that cover fit flush to the back so I need to inlay it.
I need to somehow use the cover to make a template so my son can route the recess.
I have several flush trim bits ( both top and bottom bearing versions). I also have a few spiral cut bits in 1/16, 1/8, and 1/4". I don't have an inlay collet but, I do have a rabit bit set with 6 or 7 bearings.
Before I go out and buy a collet set, any ideas how to do it without them?
