Jorge Fernandez Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi all, I'm planing to route the backside body edge to get a rounded shape. I would like to know what's the most common radius used to do that? I was thinking using a 3/8" radius roundover bit with a 1/4" shank, but maybe is a small one... any help is welcome Jorge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! I'm building a PRS-like guitar and I was thinking using a 5/16" or a 3/8" radius roundover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
